Selected Hotel Program
Exhibitors and visitors are recommended to book directly at the hotel or via get2fairs
As a host city for international trade shows, Hannover has long enjoyed an excellent reputation. In an effort to build upon that reputation, Deutsche Messe and DEHOGA Region Hannover e.V. have partnered to formulate criteria by which hotels can receive the "Messe Selected Hotels" seal of approval in recognition of their commitment to fair pricing, guest-friendly terms and conditions, and quality accommodations.
The criteria of the "Messe Selected Hotels" brand enable exhibitors and visitors to plan with certainty, provide professional service and offer balanced packages even when demand for hotel rooms is high.
Exhibitors are advised to either book their rooms directly with the hotels or else via our incoming service get2fairs.
Hotels found to meet the criteria and who pledge to uphold them for a contractual period of 3 years are permitted to proudly display and promote themselves with the "Messe Selected Hotels" seal of approval.
