LONDON – Cimbali Group, leading manufacturer of professional coffee machines and equipment, is excited to announce its participation in the Independent Hotel Show 2024, an exclusive event dedicated to the luxury and boutique hotel sector, hosted at Olympia London from October 15th to 16th.
The Group will showcase the Art of Wonder, a project designed to elevate coffee offerings in hotels from a beverage service to a key part of the guest experience. As hotels focus on delivering immersive, curated stays, coffee has become central to indulgence and personalisation. With guests seeking high-quality and tailored experiences, the Art of Wonder ensures that hoteliers can meet these demands by providing innovative coffee solutions that seamlessly integrate into various hotel environments.
Elevating hotel experiences
Cimbali Group will highlight its commitment to elevating the guest experience by showcasing customised coffee solutions specifically designed for the hospitality industry, with an emphasis on how the right coffee equipment can elevate hotel spaces, from breakfast rooms to lounge bars.
At Independent Hotel Show 2024, which will see hoteliers, general managers, and designers gathering to explore cutting-edge innovations and solutions for the hospitality industry, the Group will be represented with Stand 2100, where they will introduce bespoke coffee experiences that align with the distinct needs of luxury hoteliers. The Stand will feature three key zones, each designed to showcase the adaptability of the machines to different hotel environments:
LaCimbali Area – S30 and S-Lite
LaCimbali S30 offers an ideal solution for high-end breakfast areas where a variety of drinks and seamless service are essential. With the ability to produce up to 300 cups daily, the S30 combines advanced milk frothing technology with app-controlled features, ensuring effortless operation in busy environments like conference rooms and breakfast lounges.
Complementing the S-30 will be the LaCimbali S-Lite, a compact and versatile machine tailored for smaller settings such as boutique hotel breakfast rooms or beach bars. Its sleek design and top-tier performance make it perfect for establishments seeking quality without compromising on space.
Faema Area – Faema President and Groundbreaker
The Faema President, known for its customisable design, will be featured in a luxurious lounge setting. This machine combines Italian heritage with modern technology, offering hotels the ability to deliver a personalised coffee experience that aligns with the aesthetic and ambiance of their establishment.
Whether in a rooftop bar or fine dining restaurant, the President’s elegant design and cutting-edge performance will captivate guests. The Groundbreaker grinder will also be displayed, known for its compact size and innovative technology like the Perfect Grinding System (PGS), which ensures consistent, high-quality coffee grounds for premium service.
Casadio Area – Nettuno and Enea
For hotels prioritising reliability and practicality, the Casadio Nettuno espresso machine and Enea grinder will be featured. Designed for breakfast areas in mid-range hotels, the Nettuno combines style with functionality, offering easy operation with advanced features like the thermosyphonic system and automatic steam wand.
Expanding design horizons with Faemina
Cimbali Group will also be present with two premium design-focused spaces: the Social Business Space with the S-Lite machine for LaCimbali and the Member Suite for Faema. Here, the Faemina machine will be highlighted as an essential element of upscale hotel interiors. With its sophisticated Italian craftsmanship, Faemina provides both a visual statement and an exceptional coffee experience, making it the perfect addition to lobbies and in-room settings where design meets functionality.
Louise Felton, Cimbali Group Regional Director, UK & Ireland, emphasises the growing demand for technology and personalisation in the hotel sector. “Hoteliers today are seeking solutions that simplify operations and elevate the guest experience. Whether it’s through ultra-automated machines in high-traffic areas or beautifully designed manual machines in premium lounges, we offer tailored solutions to meet these evolving needs.”
