Want to do good while ensconcing yourself in luxury? Book a night in a designated Giving Room at selected Preferred Hotel Group properties between now and Sept. 30, and 10% of that room's revenue will be donated to a nominated charity. Beginning last year as an initiative at Houston's Hotel Derek, the Giving Room idea has now spread to hotels like the Landmark Bangkok (in aid of the Thai Red Cross), the Hotel Majestic in Barcelona (for Oxfam), and Ireland's Dromoland Castle (in support of the Barnardo's children's charity). For the full list, go to phggiftts.com.
