We just wrote about Hotels Doing Good yesterday, but you know the saying: When it rains, it pours goodwill! Today brings us word of another good cause, one that begins in your hotel bathroom. Specifically, with your soap. Perhaps you pay that bar of soap no mind, or maybe you (cough, cough) try to use just one bar and pilfer the other for your own bathroom. Regardless, if you leave a used bar of soap behind, it gets thrown out by housekeeping once you check out.
Not any more. Enter the Global Soap Project, an initiative started by Derreck Kayongo, a former refugee from Uganda, who first came to the U.S. 15 years ago. ]]>
Who needs a vacation? Yeah, us too. Kimpton feels for all our wanderlust woes and is doing their bit to help out, at least if you’re willing to set your sights on Atlanta.
Hotel Palomar Atlanta Midtown, which opened this past April, is still offering introductory rates to help ease the burden of travel costs. Though rates have gone up $10 since they first opened, well, $139 is still pretty good considering you can also get free parking (a $30 value).

We were passing through Georgia and instead of staying in another B&B with too-thin walls or a motel where strange men phoned our room in the middle of the night, we thought we’d get some sleep in a proper hotel in Atlanta. And seeing as W has no less than four hotels in town, we thought we’d try one out.]]>
