Our Mission:To further the interests of the hospitality industry through community involvement, political awareness, focused member benefits, promoting educational opportunities, and extensive communication designed to enhance the lives and livelihoods of all hoteliers in the Greater Dallas area. History of the Hotel Association of Greater Dallas: Originally founded in 1926, the Hotel Association of Greater Dallas began with only four hotel members, all in downtown Dallas, who would meet once a month to discuss common issues. It was 1972 before the Hotel Association of Greater Dallas had its own offices and a one person staff, rather than a hotel general manager volunteer. In 1989, the Association decided to promote the Association´s networking opportunities to the vendors and suppliers of the hotel industry through Allied memberships. The Hotel Association of Greater Dallas set itself apart, however, by allowing only one (1) Allied Member for every four (4) Hotel Members. From humble beginnings, the Hotel Association of Greater Dallas has grown in stature and influence, and is more active and influential than many state hotel associations. Today, the Hotel Association of Greater Dallas continues to improve. The Association is more program-oriented and politically active than ever before. The Hotel Association of Greater Dallas will continue to improve and upgrade to meet the needs of our members and look out for the interests of the hotel industry in the Greater Dallas area.
