​The WHLA Spirit of Hospitality Awards honor lodging employees who are exemplary role models of the true spirit of hospitality in Wisconsin. WHLA lodging members are invited to nominate an employee who has exhibited an exceptional contribution, exceeded expectations, or overcome particular challenges.
​Each year, the Spirit of Hospitality Award winners are recognized at the awards luncheon during the Wisconsin Lodging Conference. Event attendees are able to learn about each award winner’s contribution to their property and the industry at large. In addition to special recognition, award winners receive a complimentary pass to the luncheon, a special plaque, and photo opportunities.

Nominations are open for the 2022 Spirit of Hospitality Awards!

​Up to 12 Spirit of Hospitality awards are available this year with one award presented to an employee at a property in each category: 1 - 10 rooms; 11 - 50 rooms; 51-500 rooms; 501+. 

Any WHLA member may submit a nomination for the Spirit of Hospitality Awards. Past award winners have included hotel and lodging team members employed in housekeeping, reception, operations, food service and other on-premise positions.
