Hotelga 2026 will be held from September 2 to 4 at La Rural, Buenos Aires Trade Center. After a 2025 edition that brought together more than 13,000 professionals and 200 brands, the exhibition projects even greater growth, incorporating a new hall and consolidating itself as the main business event in the HORECA sector. It will be a unique opportunity to anticipate trends, generate business links and to train with prominent references.
At Hotelga, opportunities are growing: with exclusive pavilions for each sector, one for gastronomy and the other for hospitality, the Trends and Innovations Exhibition is doubling down on its commitment to 2026. It should be noted that the last edition recorded that 54% of visitors attended for the first time, a figure that shows the sustained growth of the event and its ability to summon new references.
Hotelga 2026 is a fundamental space to enhance the visibility of the sector and strengthen ties within the hotel and gastronomic chain. As every year, the winners of the Sustainable Hospitality Contest will be announced, aimed at tourist accommodations that integrate sustainability criteria in their management and services and the presentation of innovative ideas generated by students. You can also enjoy the 10th Grand Final of the Federal Chefs Tournament, a live competition that brings together the most outstanding professionals from all over the country. The proposal is completed with a new edition of the Hotelga Summit, with talks and conferences by leaders in the sector, and with the Matchmaking Program, a strategic space to generate contacts and new business opportunities.
Organized by AHT (Association of Tourism Hotels of the Argentine Republic), FEHGRA (Gastronomic Hotel Business Federation of the Argentine Republic) and Messe Frankfurt Argentina, Hotelga 2026 continues to promote the transformation, sustainability and innovation that the sector demands.
On December 9, the allocation of spaces will take place, a key instance to reserve and ensure the best location within the exhibition. For more information and reservations, write to hotelga@argentina.messefrankfurt.com .
