About FHS Living

Built by the architects of global hospitality investment. Built for what comes next.

FHS Living is a new investor-led forum launching in Paris in February 2027, organised by The Bench – the team behind the Future Hospitality Summit series. It brings global capital, European developers and operators together across the full spectrum of living asset classes.

Letter from the chairman

It is becoming a layer of value across how people live, work and experience space. The industry needs a platform that reflects this – and we have built it.

FHS Living is a curated forum where global capital meets developers and operators across the full spectrum of living and hospitality assets. A place where operational expertise and real estate ownership converge. Where deals are initiated, partnerships form and new models of living are defined.

We believe this is one of those moments. We look forward to building it together – with you.

40

Founding advisors said yes

Senior leaders across every class validated the platform before a single ticket went on sale.
