The Karnataka State Hotel Association (earlier name: Karnataka Pradesh Hotels and restaurants Association) was established in the year 1954 with an aim to bring the unorganized Hotel and restaurants sector under one roof to fight with various government unscientific taxations, policies, labour laws, minimum wage policy, working hours etc, which were badly affecting the Hotel Sector.
The Karnataka Pradesh Hotels and Restaurants Association ( now renamed as Karnataka State Hotels Association) was the brainchild of famous hotelier Sri. K T APPANNA who pioneered the Association since its inception on 15/09/1954. Over the years many have steered the Association to its present stature.
