DUA/HOTEL
Stay smart for the world's largest textile technology fair.
The ITMA is the world's largest leading fair for textile and garment technology. It takes place only every four years and brings the international textile industry together — a guest in Hannover in 2027. City-centre hotels are expensive and scarce at this time.
The Dua Hotel in Sarstedt is the fair alternative to the scarce city-centre hotels: from Röntgenstraße station you ride without changing to Laatzen exhibition station and into the textile-machinery halls via the Skywalk. No traffic jams, no parking hunt, no expensive fair car parks.
Because ITMA takes place only every four years, rooms in Hannover are in huge demand. With us even vans park free, breakfast starts at 06:00 on trade-fair days, and the Duo Café & Bar is the place to wind down in the evening.

ITMA & your stay — good to know.
How far is the Dua Hotel from ITMA?
From Röntgenstraße station — a 2-minute walk from the hotel — you travel without changing directly to Hannover/Laatzen exhibition station. Including the walk you are at the grounds in around 15 minutes.
Why stay in Sarstedt for ITMA instead of the city centre?
Exhibitors and trade visitors from the textile industry travel to ITMA from around the world — city-centre hotels are then expensive and sell out fast. In Sarstedt you stay somewhere quieter and fairer, yet are still at the grounds in around 15 minutes.
Can I park for free as an exhibitor with a van?
Yes — vans and larger vehicles park free right by the hotel, without reservation. Especially for an international leading fair a real advantage.
Are there still rooms available during ITMA?
ITMA takes place only every four years — rooms sell out early accordingly. Book in good time; for teams and exhibitors we are happy to put together an individual group offer.
How often does ITMA take place?
ITMA takes place only every four years and returns to Hannover in 2027 after more than 30 years. Demand is correspondingly high — book your room especially early.
When does breakfast start on trade-fair days?
On trade-fair days our breakfast buffet opens as early as 06:00, so you're at your stand or meeting in good time.
A global crowd that wants to sleep well.
Because ITMA is held only every four years, the textile world arrives all at once — and usually stays several days.
Textile producers from Asia, Türkiye and America assess new machine generations at ITMA. For a longer stay, a quiet, fair room is a welcome base.
Exhibitors of spinning, weaving or finishing technology bring machines and a team. Several rooms, a single invoice and short train rides keep the fair appearance relaxed.
Larger visitor groups often travel to ITMA together. We put together suitable room allocations and, on request, an individual group offer.
