A quantitative survey was carried out where the data collection technique was a questionnaire for hotels of Superior and Luxury categories, according to the City Hall survey, accounting for 45 researched establishments. As a result, it can be observed that hotels implement Quality of Life actions at work, but, for the most part, they implement what is required by law, or actions that do not involve financial investments. The work was based on Walton's theory of QVT, analyzing what factors established in the theory are put into practice by hotel chains. In the analysis carried out, the factor of Social Integration in the Company was the one identified as the most implemented QVT actions. The Social Relevance of Work Life factor was identified as the item with fewer actions implemented by the hotels surveyed.
