Joie de Vivre Gives
Joie de Vivre Hotels is a grass roots organization that strives to have a positive impact on our community. Each of our hotels is dedicated to donating at a minimum $200 per guest room per year to organizations in their communities.
As an extension of Joie de Vivre Gives, each hotel participates in the You Can Make a Difference program launched in April of 2008. The primary objective is to engage our guests by giving them the option to add an additional $1 of their total bill for each night they stay with us. Guests are able to opt out of this program at check-out.
Carlton Hotel’s philanthropic partner in the You Can Make a Difference program is Raphael House where they are dedicated to helping at-risk children and their parents achieve stable housing and financial independence, while strengthening family bonds and personal dignity.
