Hospitality is the art of welcoming someone and it is structured in the relationship established between a host and a guest, where the concern for a person is authentic, and that makes possible a relationship based in human values among people. Brazil has a cultural background that fosters hospitality, actually Brazilians are cordial and hospitable by nature. Hospitality, practiced at the hotels in the country, gives support to the development of national tourism, helping to increase foreign tourist flow, and even domestic tourist flow. In this context, this work tries to verify if hospitality really represents an aspect for improving relationships between a hotel and its guests, considering for this purpose three cases: Meliá Comfort WTC Brooklin, and Formule 1 Jardins hotels, located in the city of São Paulo city, and Saint Paul Residence hotel, located in Bauru city, a small city in São Paulo state. The research consists of a theoretical exploratory phase and a qualitative empiric. First hospitality, hotel education and relationship marketing concepts, are developed; and then the case studies are presented. The method chosen for collecting the data from the hotels was a personal semi-structured interview, with managers from the three hotels. From the interviews it was possible to observe that these focus mostly one or more aspects related to the economical, social and human side. Meliá Comfort hotel, stresses more quality of services for building up the relationship with its high class guests, while Saint Paul and Formule 1 Jardins hotels have the hospitality more closely connected to for building up an sustaining good relationships with guests
