Hoteliers and Designers Gear Up for The HD Boutique Show

September 12, 2008 at 9:59 AM | by JetSetCD | 1 Comment

Maybe it's your job to order peonies for the lobby flower arrangement, or perhaps you're a big shot hotelier, or is it just that you have a thing for comparing hotel carpeting; in any case,  the hospitality tradeshow HD Boutique runs September 17-18 in Miami and it will be heaven for everyone in the design hotel biz.

A smaller, design-focused version of the big HD Expo held in May in Vegas, HD Boutique will host 700 vendors and artisans in cabana-like booths to facilitate the sharing of new trends and products. And if the pool at The Raleigh is good enough for Chanel, then it'll be the perfect setting for canoodling during the HD gala on September 17.

It's not a convention without a keynote, and luckily a pretty cool one is expected from Roger Thomas, Executive Vice President of Wynn Design and Development. He'll share some funny Wynn stories, new details on the new Encore (to open in December), and maybe even pass around some casino credit nudge nudge.

If you do plan on attending, we recommend a drink or two before attending the Wave of the Future panel with Matt Abramcyk of Smith and Mills/ Beatrice Inn/ Employees Only and Alex Calderwood of Ace Hotels.

According to the release, this portion "offers exclusive access to the unconventional and disarming intellect of tomorrow's top designers." That sure sounds like our idea of fun; we bet Matt has some killer anecdotes. Register now at HDboutique.com. Use the promo code HDNMHN for a free pass.
