The Homeless Given Refuge at the Hyatt Dallas on Christmas

Where: 300 Reunion Blvd [map], Dallas, TX, United States, 75207

Here's a Christmas story to keep your heart warm even after the hot toddies and holiday cheer have cooled off: on Christmas Eve this year, the Hyatt Regency Dallas invited more than 400 of DFW's homeless to spend the night in the hotel.

As a part of an annual privately-funded charity event called the Christmas Angel Project launched by soup kitchen SoupMobile Inc., the hotel played a key role in the program by hosting more than 400 Dallasites who had no place to sleep on Wednesday night. According to the AP: Participants in the program were treated to an afternoon banquet Wednesday and some new clothes. They were allowed to spend Thursday at the hotel... Meals were provided by Pizza Hut and Chick-Fil-A.

We'd love to see something like this from other hotels in cities around the world during the holiday season, especially since so many hotel rooms go unoccupied on Christmas Eve.
