About.

    On July 11th, MEET UP North 2024 took place at LEVEN in Manchester. The event was a huge hit, bringing together interior designers, architects, hoteliers, and suppliers.

    The venue provided a fantastic setting for guests to reconnect with familiar faces and forge new relationships. The atmosphere was electric with lively discussions and collaborations, as attendees exchanged ideas and explored the latest trends in hospitality design.

    “Exciting things are happening at Hotel Designs” commented Sophie Harper, Editor, “with a successful start to the year with both of our MEET UP events, we look forward to the launch of another fantastic DESIGN POD and the lead up to the event of the year, The Brit List Awards! We can’t wait to round off what has been such a fantastic year at our fabulous awards ceremony.”
