community has been essential
We are inclusive by persuasion and working with the local community has been essential for us since the beginning. Whether it’s the custom-made amenities in your bathroom, the design of our space, or the handsome clothing worn by our people, we’ve gone the extra mile to use items made by some of the most creative and dynamic local designers and craftspeople.
