The Bristol Hoteliers Association (BHA) is a non-profit organisation of the key hotels within the city centre and surrounding areas. It is chaired and managed by the hotel General Managers and is dedicated to promoting and developing the hospitality and tourism industry in Bristol.
The BHA re-formed in January 2017. As a group we now have 29 members and aim to organise meetings and awards that will be of interest and benefit to its members.
Adam Flint, who is the new chair of the BHA since April, said: “I am confident that, with the support from everyone, we will continue to run a fantastic organisation. My passion for hospitality and the industry continues to be stronger than ever, and this new role enhances this even more.”
The association hosts bi-monthly meetings open to all members with key speakers presenting to the group of General Managers. We always welcome new members and new sponsors.
One of the most important influences with how the BHA positions itself is how we work closely with everyone.
“Our ability to work with key leaders within the city and surrounding areas allows us to voice and steer many things to the good of the industry. In terms of the city, changes and developments will continue and it is so important that the BHA remains involved and supportive across the board.”
Our annual Night of the Stars Gala event brings over 400 people under one roof for an event of celebrations and fun. During this event we reward individuals, teams or hotels for their contribution to hospitality in the city. This event is the highlight of the year for many General Managers, and we can’t thank enough the sponsors for their ongoing support to this event.
Within the set up there many steering groups, such as ‘People’ and ‘Social & Charity’, to name a few. The view is we add value and contribute to the city and surrounding areas. We’re especially proud of our People sub-groups work to partner with schools, colleges and organisation to drive education, work experience and promote the hospitality industry.
We welcome all members and prospective members to the BHA and to Bristol. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you require further information.
