What is HI Design Edit
Great hotels are made by great relationships.
HI Design Edit puts the people who create them in the same room.
FF&E suppliers together with the interior designers, operators, developers and procurement specialists who bring exceptional hotels to life.
Three days. A stunning 5-star hotel. Ready to design the best hotels.
Small by design.
Focused by nature.
Made for real conversation.
The format
A format designed to make every minute count.
The experience moves naturally between focused meetings, open discovery, fresh ideas and relaxed company.
The Showcase
One hour, fully open. Our version of a mini exhibition.
The Talks
Short, sharp sessions. Ideas from inside hospitality and beyond it.
The Company
The social side. Dinners, drinks, downtime. Where the real relationships start.
Why it works
The format is the difference.
Every delegate is selected. Every introduction is intentional. Nothing is left to chance.
Away from the everyday, people unwind. And when people unwind, the best conversations happen.
The relationships formed at HI Design Edit are the ones that last.
For suppliers
Meet the people who can actually say yes.
Interior designers. Hotel groups. Procurement leads. Developers. Owners.
Every buyer is vetted before they are invited. We require a minimum of four confirmed regional hospitality projects. No time wasters. No speculative attendees.

Our story
Built from experience.
HI Design Edit is run by The Alto House.
Founder
Louisa Walton
HI Design Edit is organised by The Alto House, founded by Louisa Walton.
Louisa has spent twenty years running and attending events worldwide, with hospitality in her DNA. She's also worked for a manufacturer herself - she's sat both sides, and knows the pressure, costs, and challenges first-hand.
Before HI Design Edit, Louisa was part of the team that built and ran HI Design - the format many of you already know. HI Design Edit rebuilds and elevates what worked.
A new name. A proven foundation.
