Good Hotel London 

Training good people to do great things.

In 2006, Marten Dresen, founder of the Good Hotel, was travelling through Guatemala when he met Mirna, a girl with no shoes, and decided to buy her a pair of Converse trainers. This kicked off a chain reaction that led to the Good Hotel - a floating social enterprise set right in the heart of London’s Docklands. 

Good Hotel is a social business, which means 100% of its profits go towards the Good Global Foundation, which supports social causes all over the world. One such cause is Niños de Guatemala, a foundation that was co-founded in 2007 by Marten Dresen, providing underprivileged children with the education they would otherwise be deprived of. The organisation currently runs two primary schools and a secondary school, housing over 600 local children.

The Good Hotel in London is committed to providing long-term unemployed people with the opportunity to build a career in the hospitality industry. In 2015 the Good Training Program was born in collaboration with Newham Workplace and the Borough Council of Newham. It offers a bespoke hospitality training course that includes three months of classroom study and paid work experience, after which every student has the chance to work full-time at the Good Hotel or with one of their chosen partners.

The programme successfully trains around 60 local residents per year who would otherwise be out of employment.
