Honoring Women in Hospitality: A Tribute for Women’s Equality Day

August 26 marked Women’s Equality Day, commemorating the certification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted American women the right to vote. It’s more than a historical milestone—it’s a celebration of courage, leadership, and progress.

In hospitality, women have long played a vital role—not just behind the front desk or in housekeeping, but in leadership, innovation, and mentorship. From keeping operations running smoothly to inspiring the next generation, the women on our teams shape the guest experience and workplace culture every day.

Let’s take a moment this month to recognize and celebrate the incredible women who make our hotels feel like home.

Women’s Equality Day reminds us that every voice matters. Let’s continue to uplift, support, and celebrate the women who lead with strength and heart—today and every day.
