Minnesota’s Niceguy image scarcely needs polishing, but those ever-friendly Midwesterners have gone ahead and stepped up their do-goodery once again. That’s right, Minneapolis's prairie-chic Graves 601 Hotel recently unveiled a new “Giving Room” package that helps guests give back the community without even lifting a finger.
All guests who book the “Giving Room” promo have to do is, well, pay for a standard room rate. In exchange, Graves Hospitality will donate a night of housing at a local shelter for a needy child or family, with the donation placed in the guest’s name.
Graves Hospitality is working with a local family organization called Perspectives, which works to break the cycle for at-risk families and children. Of course, there's a limited number of packages available each night, but we say kudos to Graves.
We have been awarded a 4 key rating from the Green Key Eco-Rating Program - recognizing us as a hotel that has taken significant steps to protect the environment. Strong environmental programs, best management practices, training programs and engineering solutions have been implemented which have benefited the environment and the local communityGA Housing Update: There are currently a limited number of King rooms available at the Crowne Plaza Charlotte Hotel which is located five blocks from the Convention Center. We are still working on acquiring rooms with two beds from some additional properties. If you need a room with two beds, please check back next week. If you only need one King bed, please book a room at the Crowne Plaza now.
Thank you for your continued patience as we work hard to add to our hotel room inventory.
As we said earlier, housing reservations for General Assembly 2011 have been coming in at a pace we haven’t seen in years.
