About the Hotel Council

The Hotel Council is governed by a Board of Directors, which is comprised of representatives from all areas of the lodging industry. We represent the interests of over 65 member hotels in San Francisco on a variety of government and public affairs issues. The Council believes strongly in the importance of educating the public and increasing awareness about the hospitality industry. We are proud to be part of a thriving tourism industry, which is the largest industry and the second largest employer in San Francisco.

The Hotel Council is committed to involving its members in community initiatives and philanthropic efforts. We hold numerous events throughout the year for our members to engage with one another and to network with key civic leaders. In addition, we organize philanthropic events that support scholarships for hospitality management students attending Bay Area colleges and universities. We are also proud to work with the San Francisco Hotel/Non-Profit Collaborative which transfers excess goods, supplies, food and equipment from hotels to community based non-profit organizations.

The Hotel Council continues to be a key player in San Francisco’s tourism, political and business sectors. We understand that our hotels have a great deal to contribute to San Francisco’s economy and must be united to deliver our positive message to the City and County of San Francisco.
