100 years at the heart of hospitality!
On this day in 1926, a small group of Dallas hoteliers chartered the Dallas Hotel Men's Association. Their idea was simple: that the industry is stronger when its people stand together.
A century later, that conviction still defines us. Today, HANTX brings together hoteliers and allied partners across North Texas. We connect people, champion our industry, and strengthen the communities we serve.
But a hundred years isn't really a story about an association. It's about the people who showed up: the front desk clerks who became general managers, the teams who turned hospitality into lifelong careers and strengthened our communities, the late nights and full houses and guests who became regulars.
So, we want to hear from you. What's a moment, a mentor, or a memory that defined your time in North Texas hospitality? Share it in the comments or tag us in your photos—old and new. We'll be featuring your stories all year as we celebrate this milestone together.
Here's to 100 years—and to the many more stories we'll write side by side. https://video214.com/custom-player/0lcwhtoABmPt0IHsJCM6rg
