We could say a lot of things about 2020 but most of them would not be very nice. However, one half-glass-full way to think about the year is to consider it as one (very long) season of teachable moments. Slowing down brought important things into sharp relief the precarious state of the environment, the reliable awesomeness of the natural world, the power of people who band together for a cause.
Though much of the world slowed way down and was even brought to a standstill at times, beautiful new hotels did manage to open some of them paying particularly close attention to their environment, community, impact, and trying to do business differently. Those companies deserve extra attention, and we ve highlighted the feel-good factors that stand out to us.
