LWK + PARTNERS at HIS 2025: Designing the Future of Hospitality in the Gulf
As Saudi Arabia and the UAE continue to redefine global standards in hospitality and real estate, collaboration between industry leaders is essential to shaping guest experiences of the future. LWK + PARTNERS was proud to be part of the 4th Edition of the Hospitality Innovation Summit (HIS) – Saudi Arabia & UAE, held on February 26–27, 2025 at Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City.
This year’s summit brought together over 500 senior decision-makers from across the region’s hotel, architecture, development, and investment sectors. In this powerhouse of dialogue and innovation, our team was represented by Kerem Cengiz, Managing Director – MENA, and Andreja Marolt, Director of Business Development – MENA, who joined forces with key stakeholders to advance conversations around design, digitalization, sustainability, and the evolving definition of luxury.
Kerem Cengiz moderated the opening panel discussion, joined by Ali Al Ghamdi, CEO & Transformation Consultant at OSUS, and Carlos Khneisser, VP Development MEA at Hilton. The session addressed hospitality investment trends, guest-centric development strategies, and the vital role of design leadership in a rapidly transforming region.
Andreja Marolt’s presence further emphasized our firm’s commitment to fostering new business relationships and future-ready strategies that elevate both user experience and long-term value.
