The Hotel Show will now take place from 28 to 30 September 2026 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre within Expo City Dubai. The updated plans support stronger international participation and future industry growth.
Originally scheduled for June at Dubai World Trade Centre, the exhibition will now move to the larger purpose built venue. Organizers said the relocation addresses growing exhibitor demand and current global freight considerations. As a result, the move is expected to strengthen the event’s international appeal. It will also create greater flexibility for exhibitors, buyers, and visitors attending from overseas markets. Recognized as one of the Middle East and North Africa’s leading hospitality trade exhibitions,
The Hotel Show gathers hotel owners, operators, designers, chefs, procurement specialists, and hospitality decision makers from across the region. The 2026 edition will feature showcases covering hospitality technology, interior design, wellness, hotel development, and food and beverage solutions. Organizers also confirmed several co located exhibitions during the event. These include INDEX, WORKSPACE, and The Leisure Show. The events will create a broader platform for hospitality, design, and commercial interiors professionals. In addition, visitors can attend the HTEC Dubai conference and the Hospitality Leadership and F&B Forum. The Emirates Culinary Guild’s competitive Chef’s Table challenge will also return during the exhibition. Furthermore, organizers confirmed that all visitor registrations and exhibitor booth commitments will automatically transfer to the revised September dates.
The process aims to ensure continuity for exhibitors, partners, and attendees preparing for the 2026 edition.
