Boston Hotel Watch™ a Division of ILSSA Boston, is honored to receive the inaugural “Amicus Hospitum” Award!

Today, at the Massachusetts Lodging Association’s 2026 Stars of the Industry Awards Ceremony held at Boston’s Fenway Park, we were proud to accept this prestigious distinction. This marks the first-ever presentation of the Amicus Hospitum Award.

What does “Amicus Hospitum” mean?

It’s Latin for “Friend of the Guest” — a phrase that embodies our core mission: fostering safety, collaboration, and exceptional service to protect and enhance the guest experience across Massachusetts’ hospitality industry.

We are deeply humbled and grateful for this recognition. None of this would be possible without our incredible members, law enforcement partners, and industry stakeholders who work tirelessly every day to keep our hotels and guests safe.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to excellence in hospitality security. Here’s to continuing this vital work together!
