Welcome to the Master Innholders website.

Click here to view the members website list.

The formation of the Master Innholders was the first step taken by the WCI towards renewing its old links with innkeeping. In common with many other Livery Companies it had few links with the modern day industry.

Membership of the Master Innholders is by invitation. Candidates have to undergo a rigorous interview where they have to clearly demonstrate not only their innkeeping ability, but also continuing support for improving standards within the industry.

With the full support of the Worshipful Company of Innholders and the Institute of Hospitality, the Master Innholders have slowly grown in number and have increased their influence and charitable activities within the hotel industry.

The
Competitive
Edge
Inspiration for Challenging Times

The 16th Annual Hotel
General Managers’ Conference

19th and 20th January 2009
The Landmark Hotel, London

The annual General Managers’ conference has become renowned as the most important event of its kind in the hotelier’s calendar. Sessions are stimulating, speakers thought provoking and the venue always inspiring, not to mention the plentiful networking opportunities.

For many owners and managers, this will be the first time they have faced such challenging times. What lessons can we learn from previous recessions and how can we best prepare ourselves for difficult months ahead?

These topical questions amongst others will be addressed squarely by speakers, some of whom have successfully steered businesses through such choppy waters before.

At only £264 (plus VAT) the hoteliers rate represents outstanding value at this five red star hotel. This includes all sessions at this two day conference, lunch on both days, champagne reception and black tie dinner. There are also excellent room rates available at Master Innholder hotels for delegates from out of town.

    

MI Chairman Andrew McKenzie, chairman named Hotelier of the Year 2009

He takes over from Richard Ball, managing director of Calcot Manor, who has chaired the Master Innholders for the last two years.
“The hospitality industry is a wonderful career choice and the Master Innholders represents everything that is great about it, particularly promoting best practice and management development. I am both proud and excited to have been elected chairman and I look forward to promoting these ideals over the next two years”



Andrew previously worked for De Vere,
Inter-Continental and Thistle Hotels and spent eight years with Shire Hotels, managing three of their hotels, before taking up his present position. He is involved in several industry organisations and local charities.
