[edit] History and Background

American Hotel Register was founded in 1865 as a publisher of hotel travel directories and railroad maps. It was incorporated in 1896 with its current name as a manufacturer of its patented hotel registers. Around the turn of the century it was acquired by Thomas F. Leahy and is still owned by the same family today. Over the years it has adapted with the changes in the hotel industry by changing the products it sells and they say they currently have the "World's largest selection of hospitality products and services"^[1]. For many years, American Hotel was located in Northbrook, IL next to the (now former) Glenview Naval Air Base, but by late 1990s had outgrown this location, prompting them to purchase land in Vernon Hills, IL, where they have been located since 1998.
