“Journey to the Ethical Hotel in Rome where (also) people with disabilities work” is the title of a report that the journalist Simona Berterame made for Fanpage at the Ethical Hotel in Rome.

In Rome, a few steps from Piazzale Flaminio, there is in fact an inclusive and welcoming hotel. It’s called “Albergo Etico” and it’s not just an entrepreneurial project but a real social challenge: people with disabilities also work here. Eighteen rooms spread over several floors within the walls of an old building from the early twentieth century, which until a few years ago housed the Institute of the Daughters of Our Lady of Mercy. The Ethical Hotel allows young people with various disabilities, including post-coma, Down syndrome and Fragile X syndrome, to enter the world of work in a simple and stimulating way thanks also to the supervision of the managers of the structure.
