About.

Hosted at Sway Bar on 24th April, MEET UP London 2025 kicked off Hotel Designs’ 10th anniversary celebrations with an unforgettable evening of networking, energy, and design excellence. In partnership with this year’s Hotel Summit, the event welcomed an all-time record crowd of designers, architects, hoteliers, and suppliers – marking it as one of the most vibrant gatherings in the design calendar.


Guests enjoyed thoughtful brand activations, including curated gifts from ARRAN, a champagne giveaway by Aslotel, and a stylish BoConcept lounge space featuring the Imola chair. Editor Sophie Harper praised the high turnout and buzzing atmosphere, highlighting the success of the added dancefloor.

With music, celebration, and a palpable sense of community, MEET UP London 2025 set the tone for a dynamic year ahead. Here’s to a decade of design – and the bold next chapter to come.
