For example, Hotel Revival, opened in 2018, is pushing boundaries in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon neighborhood, using tourism to uplift local businesses and voices in unique ways. Coining and embodying the term, “Impact hospitality” at its best, Hotel Revival provides a modern model of thinking that many in the industry would do well to adopt lead by trailblazer, Donte Johnson.
It all started with a simple mission: Make Lives Better. Looking beyond the pandemic, however, this mission has only become more important at Hotel Revival, a boutique property that’s part of JDV by Hyatt Hotels. Along with the Georgetown Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation, the hotel began its social impact programs in 2020. It even hired its first Director of Culture & Impact, Jason Bass. By focusing on small local businesses and entrepreneurs, the hotel is creating opportunities for the local community to thrive alongside the hospitality industry.
The effects have been visible. The hotel partnered with local minority-owned businesses including Black and women-owned Lor Tush to provide bamboo toilet paper, and Black-owned Black Acres Roastery to provide in-room coffee. Its popular Zero Proof Zero Judgment menu at the hotel’s bar showcases how Hotel Revival’s team is thinking outside the box to make sure everyone can benefit from what happens within its walls.
