Let's Get Personal

    Founder, Annaliese Settles, has a history in the hospitality industry and wanted to create Women In Hospitality to increase the number of women in the hospitality field. Not only by encouraging young teens to choose hospitality as a major in college, but also to aid women that are aspiring to further their career in hospitality.

​

She graduated with a Bachelor in Science for Hospitality Management from The Conrad N. Hilton College at The University of Houston. While going to school she had her first job as a custodial, aka janitor, at the Hilton on campus. She quickly worked her way up to housekeeping and then housekeeping supervisor. She was awarded with the Hilton Blue Energy Committee Member all in 9 months. Hilton recognizes dedicated employees with the honor of granting membership of the Blue Energy Committee for employees that exhibit it's values. Hilton states that, "The Spirit of Blue Energy recognizes Team Members who live our values (Hospitality, Integrity, Leadership, Teamwork, Ownership, and Now) and deliver on our promise “to ensure every Guest feels cared for, valued, and respected,” by exceeding expectations for Guests, fellow Team Members, and the community." She was selected among a group of 20+.

After she was housekeeping supervisor she then worked at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts in downtown Houston for 3 years. She worked as a front desk agent for 1 year and was then promoted to concierge for 2 years. During the 2020 global pandemic she transitioned to her family owned company, LuxuryRes, inc., where she now works as the Director of Sales and Marketing

"I started Women In Hospitality because I wanted to have an organized platform for women to refer to for scholarship opportunities, finding jobs, posting jobs, staying up-to-date on the latest hospitality trends, industry events, etc..."
