About Us

The Massachusetts Lodging Association (MLA) has a wide variety of active property members, which include hotels, motels, resorts, inns and bed and breakfasts, comprising more than 35,000 rooms across the Commonwealth. MLA membership also includes businesses that supply products and services to the lodging industry. In addition, a number of colleges and universities that have hospitality programs are members, as well as corporate members that represent companies, which own or manage properties.
 
MLA's first commitment is to create and implement an aggressive program to develop the business and leisure travel industry in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Our second commitment is to create a better business environment through legislative efforts and networking with related associations. We are also dedicated to providing professional education of our members, recognizing excellence among our members, and actively participating in our members' communities.
 
MLA is the member state association partner with the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA), which represents the lodging industry on a national level. Together, we represent more than 11,000 properties and 1.4 million rooms and provide a unified voice on the state and national level.
