“Christmas is a time for generosity, compassion, and connection. We are humbled to extend a gesture of warmth to the patients and staff at QEH2, and deeply grateful to our fellow members for coming together with a shared purpose. This donation is a reminder that hospitality is not only about service within our hotels, but also about caring for the wider community.”
