For
most, hotels offer a luxurious oasis or a home away from
home. But for some they are an important source of both financial
and social support. Rather than simply providing temporary havens
for travellers, these hotels are enforcing positive change in both
big and small ways. Some work to support their local communities,
while others take on global initiatives. From the London
hotel group providing hospitality training to the homeless to a
beachfront resort in Indonesia committed to alleviating local
poverty, we’ve rounded up a few of our favourite do-gooder
hotels.

New York, United States
Community is ingrained in New York’s 11 Howard hotel, as
testified by its south-facing 12-storey-high mural by youth
activism group Groundswell. More discreetly, the hotel incorporates
many other charity-focused initiatives across its premise; for
example, each time you reach for the minibar you’ll support Feed,
an initiative that provides meals and micronutrient packets to
children across the world. The hotel also partners with Thrive
Market to help make healthy food more accessible to low-income
American families.
