About the Columbia Lodging Association

Just like the Pineapple has been the symbol of Hospitality since the days of Christopher Columbus, The Columbia Lodging Association (CLA) was formed to take the Hospitality of Columbia Missouri to new heights by helping hoteliers work together as one team, to promote Columbia, service the community, and take care of its teammates. The CLA does this by implementing a four cornerstone foundation where we continually work in the areas of Teammate, Operations, Community, and Service.

We would like to invite you to join us as we continue to build stronger Hospitality in the City of Columbia.

We are committed to the hotels, owners, & general managers of the properties in Columbia, Missouri by increasing educational and community awareness to its members and willingly helping the community of Columbia wherever we can. 

CLA presents an opportunity to have a voice, citywide and statewide, in the hospitality industry.
