Frasers gives back to Kindness Heroes

FRASERS Hospitality, a member of Frasers Property Group, has concluded its ‘Remembering Kindness’ campaign, announcing that over 200 individuals or ‘Fraser Kindness Heroes’ – including its own outstanding employees or ‘Everyday Heroes’ – will each be granted with a complimentary stay at one of its award-winning collections of serviced and hotel residences, and boutique hotels across the world. Nearly 700 room nights will be granted to these inspiring individuals.

As part of the campaign, members of the public came forward to share stories of individuals in their communities who have performed acts of kindness for the benefit of others. The campaign received entries spanning across 16 countries globally, ranging from Singapore, Australia, Japan, South Korea and China to the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (UK).

Submissions have highlighted individuals from all walks of life – from those volunteering to help others in need, healthcare professionals and essential services workers, to those going out of their way to provide daily essentials for the underprivileged and creating inspirational platforms to help those undergoing difficult circumstances.

 

The Rooster opens in Greece this June

The Rooster has been designed with unpretentious aesthetic luxury in mind paired with excellent service, while providing a holistic mindfulness escape. Cloistered between the sandy, unspoilt beaches of the Aegean coastline and the dramatic landscape of the Cyclades amidst open fields and the mystical caves of Antiparos, The Rooster exists in complete harmony with nature. The Rooster is all about space and privacy: just 17 individual houses of differing size, each with its own independent character. With four different layouts to choose from, each is complete with ample space, private gardens, its own freshwater pool and outdoor showers.

The hotel can be reached by plane, by boat and has its own private helipad with direct transfers from Athens International Airport. Prices start from €580 ($708.48) in a Garden View Suite, B&B.
