Hotelga 2026 showcases hospitality and design at La Rural
The Hotelga 2026 trade fair, held at La Rural from September 2 to 4, brought together over 200 brands and professionals from the hospitality, gastronomy, and tourism sectors. The event expanded its scale to two pavilions, focusing on themes such as technology, sustainability, innovation, and design.
A key component of the fair was ArDesign, a curated platform led by Marcela Fibbiani that showcased Argentine design. Six local brands—Pared, Eclēctica, Frags, Manfroni Iluminación, Nuestro Estudio, and Curadoras—presented products including furniture, lighting, textiles, and tableware to demonstrate how local design can meet the specific needs of the hospitality industry.
Additionally, the brand Volf hosted a large banquet following the fair's conclusion to celebrate Argentine gastronomy. The event featured contributions from notable figures such as Narda Lepes and included culinary offerings from various catering services and restaurants, integrating Volf’s glassware and tableware into the gastronomic experience.
