Join NEIRA

Who are we?

The New England Inns & Resorts Association (NEIRA) was founded more than 100 years ago by New England hoteliers, for New England hoteliers.  Our 300+ members from all corners of New England come in all shapes and sizes, from boutique independent lodging to large, multi-property organizations.  We support three key pillars for members:  marketing, education, and networking.  

Here’s why we’re the perfect resource for New England hoteliers:

• Our powerful marketing engine brings visitors to your website.  Our goal is for our consumer website to be among the top ten referrers to our members’ websites, and members consistently confirm this is true. You can see how we do that here.
• We help bring guests to your front door, commission-free.  Our consumer website offers commission-free direct booking, our NEIRA gift cards are redeemed dollar-for-dollar to you, and our Inn Crowd newsletter shares your deals and packages with 20,000+ travelers.
• We deliver turnkey access to learning opportunities for you and your staff.  Our exclusive educational programming offers things like a Spring Seminar Series, Quarterly Roundtables by job role, discounted eCornell online hospitality courses, and 24/7 access to our online communications hub for community discussions with other members and a ton of additional resources.

And that’s just the beginning. NEIRA membership also helps you offer perks to your employees – like an Employee Rate Program and Holiday Gift Card Swap – and gives you access to many targeted pay-to-play opportunities… from a direct leads program for groups/weddings and exclusive annual meeting planner tabletop luncheons in Boston and Hartford, to special interest consumer marketing, annual conference attendance for in-person learning, and so much more.
