The Getaway That Gives Back

Escape to a cool San Francisco hotel for the weekend – and then reach out and help the needy while you're at it. The Hotel Adagio in Union Square is hopefully setting a new standard among high-end hotels by offering the Pursuit of Happiness Voluntourism Package. Guests have the option to volunteer at Glide Memorial, assisting with the facility's meals program that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner to more than 3,000 people per day.

Located in the Tenderloin, Glide helps the less fortunate with meals, a medical clinic, youth job training and services at its renowned Glide Church. Guests are encouraged to attend services, which are well known for their music and inspirational message.

The Hotel Adagio has 171 guestrooms and rates starting at $189. Book the package online using the code GLIDE.

Then take a trip that might help both you – and someone in need – feel better.
