The staff here at Hotel Design and its sister publications, Hotel & Motel Management, Luxury Hotelier and The Hotel Times, are basking in the glow of a highly successful showing at HotelWorld, our parent company's inaugural operations and design conference and tradeshow. It was held in Las Vegas this past February in conjunction with International Hospitality Week. Thousands of attendees perused the latest in hospitality products and services and sat in on roundtable discussions headed by experts in all areas of hotel design, operations and management.
