THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE
Small touches make the hotel stand out in a big way. The hotel’s car service is run mostly by women that are single mothers, and Abode helps them own their cars if possible, to enhance their financial independence. The cafe uses locally-grown ingredients wherever possible, while plus the rooms are design to use energy efficiently, such as the cement and tile floors that absorb heat in the day. It also works with a school for the blind to employ its students as massage therapists, helping them develop livelihoods.
When you stay at Abode, you support its initiatives to lift communities.
