About Us

From a Seed in 1936 to a Unified Voice.

For 90 years, the Bangalore Hotels Association (Regd.) has worked to secure the growth and sustainability of Bengaluru's hospitality industry.

Our story.

Founded in 1936, our organisation began as the Bruhat Bangalore Hotels Association. Today, we are the Bangalore Hotels Association (Regd.), representing the interests of the hospitality trade in Bengaluru and Karnataka.

Our members range from heritage darshinis that have fed the city for generations to hotels, restaurants, bakeries and ice-cream parlours. Through steady policy advocacy and hands-on guidance, we work to make running a hospitality business in Bengaluru better for all of them.

As the city has grown, so has the association, while its purpose has stayed the same: to give the trade one voice, and to stand behind every member.
