Summary/Abstract: The subject of the submitted article, based on empirical research and analysis, is the need to evaluate the specifics of the management of hotel facilities with respect to women and under conditions where, on the one hand, the acceleration of the introduction of new methods (new technologies, automation, computerisation) is increasingly being reflected in the globalisation of the hotel industry and, on the other, the industry is recovering from the impacts of the global economic crisis and continues to address the consequences of the subsequent economic recession. The article addresses issues surrounding the status of women in the hotel and catering industry on the basis of empirical research. The empirical research, which focused on gender policy, was conducted over the period 2012−2015 at which time the author studied primary and secondary sources collected from selected hotel human resources managers.
