The March/April 2026 issue of Hotel & Restaurant Times turns the spotlight on design, innovation and the future of foodservice, against a backdrop of geopolitical and infrastructure uncertainty affecting Irish tourism.
Versatile takes centre stage in this issue, with an in-depth look at how the Navan-based company has grown over four decades into a comprehensive hospitality solutions provider — delivering luxury tiling, bespoke spa installations and full interior fit-outs for some of Ireland’s leading hotels. Head of Interior Specifications Ita O’Brien walks us through landmark projects including The Chancery and The Mercantile Hotel in Dublin.
This issue also brings full coverage of the IFSA Table to Tech Conference 2026, which brought together over 130 delegates and 15 expert speakers to explore the future of foodservice — from zero-waste operations and sustainability to technology, supply chain resilience and changing consumer expectations.
In his editorial, managing editor Cyril McAree addresses two pressing concerns for the sector: the ongoing Middle East conflict and its estimated €450 million impact on Irish tourism, and Ryanair’s renewed calls to abolish the Dublin Airport passenger cap before long-term economic damage takes hold.
Alongside in-depth features, this issue brings you the latest industry news and IFSA updates, ensuring hospitality professionals across Ireland stay informed, prepared and focused on what lies ahead.
