Dear Friends & Colleagues

Over two decades ago, we embarked on a journey to create HoteliersGuild, envisioning it as "The Exclusive Global Society of Discerning Hoteliers who embrace the Principles of Deeper & Sustainable Luxury." Our initial steps were supported by a few dedicated 'Ambassadors,' fellow hoteliers who believed in our vision and shared our philosophy.

Fast forward to today, HoteliersGuild boasts an impressive but very selective global membership, bolstered by the unwavering support of our strategic and devoted partners. We continue to uphold our policy of not admitting applicants, as we are not a mere listing site, nor do we solicit membership. Affiliation with HoteliersGuild can only be achieved through a personal nomination and subsequent invitation from an Ambassador or Trustee. The process is completed with the approval of our Board of Directors and an introductory courtesy visit from a designated board member.

Since 2021, the HoteliersGuild Academy of Hospitality Arts has emphasised providing access to education for deserving young women from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. Our guiding philosophy asserts that excellence is not a mere aspiration but an ongoing commitment. We strive to incorporate UN SDG's into all aspects of modern hotel-keeping, ensuring that we give back to our industry and create a lasting, positive impact.

Warm personal regards,

Frank M. Pfaller Founder President

Welcome to HoteliersGuild, the inspirational community for elite hospitality leaders!

Over a decade ago, we began as a private, confidential web-tool for hoteliers and their families, thanks to our passionate founder and devoted Ambassadors.

Today, our global membership flourishes with the support of prominent industry and academia partners who put a focus on ESG and support next gen young underprivileged hospitality students through the SIRIUSACADEMYAWARDCAMPAIGN .

As we value exclusivity, HoteliersGuild does not accept applications. Membership is granted only through personal nomination by an Ambassador or Trustee, followed by Board approval. We're not a mere listing site, and we take pride in our members' collaborative spirit.

Members can utilise various tools and services from strategic partners and supporting platforms to enhance communication, marketing, and PR efforts. Participation is flexible, and members decide their level of involvement. Our focus lies on individual hoteliers rather than the groups or chains they represent.

If you think you "belong," seek a recommendation and nomination from our esteemed Board of Advisors.
