We Strive to Make a Difference!
The San Antonio Hotel & Lodging Association (SAHLA)is one of the most active organizations within our local hospitality community. We are involved in every aspect of our industry and the role we play in tending to our tourists. But even more important, the member companies of our organization are equally engaged in projects and programs that will improve our working environment and the overall quality of life for all of our citizens. Collectively and individually our organization strives to promote, protect and preseve those elements in our city that make San Antonio such a special and unique place to live and to visit.
SAHLAngel Charities Selected
The following charities have been selected by the SAHLA Board to equally share the profits of the 2009 Angel sale:
- Bexar County Family Justice Center Foundation
- Haven for Hope of Bexar County
- Humane Society/SPCA of Bexar County
- San Antonio Youth Centers
- St. Peter's-St. Joseph's Children's Home
- WINGS (Women helping uninsured women with breast cancer)
Buy one of our SAHLAngel bargains and help us make the work of these Charities a little bit easier during this economic downturn. It's a "win - win" deal!
An Icon in our Industry is turning
in his room key!
For 55 years, Siegfried Richter has been a vibrant part of the Hospitality Industry. Beginning his training in his native Germany, his keen sense of style and quest for perfection was recognized early on by the Hilton Hotel Corporation who brought him to the US to begin a long and successful career within their organization.
Siegfried arrived in San Antonio to become the General Manager of Hilton's Palacio del Rio property in 1981. For 28 years, he has been a viable part of our local industry serving in leadership roles in SAHLA, in civic organizations and on numerous City Commissions and Boards.
While Siegfried may be turning over the keyes of the Palacio, we know this is simply the closing of one door and the opening of a new one for this very gentle man. He and wife Dorothy will continue to be a part of the fabric of our city and we look forward to sharing this new adventure with them.
SAHLA President, Bill Brendel presents Siegfried with a watercolor of his hotel on the Riverwalk on behalf of the members of the San Antonio Hotel and Lodging Association and the San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Our very best wishes to
Siegfried and Dorothy.
