Key facts
About EquipHotel Paris 2026
EquipHotel is the reference trade show for the hospitality sector, covering hotels, restaurants and collective catering. Held every two years, the 2026 edition runs over four days, Monday to Thursday, 2-5 November, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
The show brings together roughly 1,200 international suppliers across 80,000 sqm of exhibition space split into Design, Wellbeing, Tech & Services and Foodservice sectors. More than 100 conferences and networking events are scheduled, including HITEC Paris and the Commercial Strategy Forum Paris on 5 November.
Admission and conference access are managed exclusively by the organiser, RX France, via the official EquipHotel website.
Getting to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
From Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), the journey to Porte de Versailles typically takes 45-60 minutes depending on traffic. Our chauffeurs track your flight and meet you in arrivals with a name sign, so there's no waiting around after a long flight.
From Orly, the venue is closer, usually 25-40 minutes by car, making a private transfer especially efficient for exhibitors on tight schedules.
If you're arriving by Eurostar into Gare du Nord, or from a central Paris hotel, a chauffeur pickup removes the need to navigate the metro with luggage or display materials during a busy trade show week.
Getting Around During EquipHotel
Many exhibitors and buyers need to move between the venue, hotel meetings and evening networking events over the four days. Hourly chauffeur hire keeps a car and driver at your disposal, with a 2-hour minimum, so you can adjust your schedule without booking separate trips.
For teams attending HITEC Paris or the Commercial Strategy Forum on 5 November, a chauffeur waiting outside the hall saves time between sessions and onward appointments.
Premium vans are available for groups of 4-8 travelling together, useful for delegations or exhibitor teams moving equipment between the venue and hotels.
Planning Tips for Visitors and Exhibitors
Porte de Versailles sits in the south of Paris and can see heavy traffic during major trade shows, so building in extra time for your transfer, particularly on the opening Monday, is sensible.
Exhibitors with stand materials or samples may prefer a premium van for airport collection rather than relying on public transport or taxis.
Booking your chauffeur in advance through our AI quote assistant locks in a fixed price and confirms the driver before you travel, which is particularly useful during a busy four-day international show.
