The Bite Magazine - Spring 2019 - Issue 24

The duo wanted to look for the right blend of industrial and natural and to show the construction and sturdiness of the building by combining it with elements, materials and textures that would make anyone feel right at home. Dotted around the hotel, you’ll find touches of humour as well as sign posts pointing to their charitable stories with pictures of people they have helped so far that will make you feel that you are helping a credible cause. There are no TVs in the rooms as Good Hotel believes in the social aspect of conversation. The hotel is a few minutes’ walk away from the world renowned exhibitions and international convention centre The Excel and the Emirates Air Line cable car link which flies across the River Thames in London, meaning you can arrive at the O2 entertainment complex on the Greenwich Peninsula in no time. Visitors can also explore ‘Up at The O2’, an adventure experience consist- ing of a guided climb across the arena roof with scenic views of landmarks sur- rounding the area. London City Airport is also 15 minutes away. Making a huge difference in the local community and around the world, Good Hotel donated $80,000 in their first year and is now structurally working towards being able to donate $500,000 per year to their Guatemalan NGO partner to help build schools, directly facilitate the education of over 500 students in poor rural Guatemalan com- munities and foster bright futures. Also in their first year, they had 43 trainees take part in the Good Training pro- gramme, with 72.2% going onto further employment. A place where you can kick off your shoes, put your feet up, enjoy an espresso, meet with friends or get some work done at one of their com- munal tables, Good Hotel is like a home away from home, especially in the Living Room at the London-based site. We’re sure that you’ll be cosy and snug as well as being surrounded by freelance work- aholics, foodies, world travellers, live bands and true Londoners.
