Our hospitality projects would be nothing without their vibrant surrounding communities, and we seek to support them however we can.
How We Support Others
Prints Without Borders
During the summer of 2020, Sir Hotels, Max Brown Hotels, Park Centraal Hotels and our store, X BANK , teamed up with the talented artists who created the beautiful artwork within our spaces to create limited-edition prints for sale, with proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders in support of the COVID-19 crisis.
Sir Cares
Each Sir is a product of its environment, distinctly inspired by its respective community in both design and ethos. To give thanks, all of our hotels support local partner organizations that are making great strides for the city. When you stay at Sir, you can give thanks too by opting into a €1 donation to the organization at check-in.
