American Hotel & Lodging Association

Serving the hospitality industry for more than a century, the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA) is the sole national association representing all segments of the 1.8 million-employee U.S. lodging industry, including hotel owners, REITs, chains, franchisees, management companies, independent properties, state hotel associations, and industry suppliers. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., AH&LA provides focused advocacy, communications support, and educational resources for an industry generating $155.5 billion in annual sales from 4.9 million guestrooms. In addition, AH&LA is partnered with state associations across the country to provide local representation and additional cost-saving benefits to members. These partner state associations have the same mission and goals as AH&LA, and we work together to serve the best interest of our members and the hotel industry as a whole. AH&LA's 2012 Annual Report provides an overview of the industry’s top concerns and a chronicle of a landmark year. AH&LA’s 2011 audited financial statements and 2011 Form 990, “Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax,” provides details of its operations and financial positions.
