As the leading voice of hotel owners, AAHOA’s influence continues to grow. This week, AAHOA’s newest elected leader was honored on the House Chamber Floor.

Thank you to Rep. Sylvia Garcia for recognizing her constituent and AAHOA Chairman Miraj S. Patel as the first Houstonian and youngest chairman in AAHOA’s 35-year history. Miraj's journey, like many other AAHOA Members, epitomizes the American Dream.

“Miraj’s passion for the hotel industry started in his family’s 30-room motel on Wayside Drive, the heart of my district. Now, it has grown into an American success story and proves that your dreams can come true,” she said. “I’m truly excited for Miraj’s vision and what it will bring to [AAHOA]. I know, from his heart, he will always put people first.”
