Hospitality Design (HD) magazine, published 10 times a year, is the premier trade magazine serving the field of hospitality design. It connects owners, operators, purchasing agents, designers, and architects involved in the design of hotels, resorts, restaurants, cruise ships, nightclubs/lounges, spas, and all other hospitality-oriented projects. HD continues its 30-plus-year mission to publish the accomplishments of various design teams that collaborate to bring the most innovative examples of new construction and renovation to the industry.

Hospitality Design links buyers and sellers through various trade shows, conferences, products, services, and awards:

Hospitality Design Exposition & Conference (HD Expo): The preeminent trade show for the hospitality design industry takes place May 15-17, 2012, at Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.

Hospitality Design Boutique Exposition & Conference (HD Boutique): HD's chic, smart-sized exposition and conference on the SoBe scene.

It brings together professionals in the hospitality industry through informative conference sessions and packed networking parties, and unveils the newest products in the marketplace on a show floor with smaller sized booths. Registration is now open for HD Boutique 2011, which takes place September 13-14 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Click here for more information.

Hospitality Design Awards for Creative Achievement: The annual Hospitality Design Awards. The program's categories, developed by a panel of prominent designers, offer both a departure from other awards programs and creative opportunities for entrants. An awards ceremony honoring the 2010 winners and finalists selected by prestigious industry judges took place June 9 in New York City, and both winners and finalists were featured in the May/June issue of HD.
