The Purpose Hotel benefitting the Social Good 

Living life with a purpose so much deeper that you make an impact on someone’s life through everything you do – even when staying in a hotel on business or personal travel.  Instead of earning personal points, you give back to those who are less fortunate. Living with the purpose of giving, versus receiving = life-changing and soul-healing.  The Purpose Hotel features top-of-the-line products and materials that contribute to social good. All good hotels provide a retreat – a respite – for its traveler. The Purpose Hotel goes farther: it connects you to something that’s bigger. Simply put, people are the purpose.

As we continued to collaborate on it, we kept finding more and more to add, and even more information and resources that we wanted to make sure were included in our post – which then turned our joint blog post into a full resource e-book.
