The European Hotel Forum (EHF) was founded as a pan-European association bringing together hotel industry professionals to research hospitality-related issues and take action on them as appropriate through legislative, policy, media and hotel industry educational venues.

EHF Members represent the diversity of the hotel industry in Europe, both in terms of geographical locations and in the variety of professionals involved, including independent hotel groups, hotel chains, hotel owners and managers. 

The EHF also serves as a forum for Members to raise awareness of industry issues and to contribute to the policymaking process both at EU and Member State level.
