About Us

The one-stop resource for the hospitality industry

The association has gone through many changes over the years, starting first as the Indiana Hotel Association, then changed to the Indiana Restaurant Association in 1933, and finally to the Indiana Restaurant and Lodging Association in 2013. The purpose of this final change was to expand the association’s reach to the entire hospitality industry.

Our diverse network of membership ranges from industry owners, operators, staff and suppliers, to educators and students. The restaurant and lodging industries play an integral role in Indiana’s economy, employing over 400,000 Hoosiers and generating nearly $30 billion in revenue statewide.
