"Not just another hotel."
The Grand Hotel Philadelphia is the unique initiative of the Philadelphia Care Foundation (Stichting Philadelphia Zorg), which is a national network-based organisation providing advice and support to people who need care, regardless of cause, disability or age, in order for them to live their lives as independently as possible.
Under the guidance of a team of professionals from the catering industry, young persons with a minor mental disability can take part in a learning and working project in our hotel. They work in the kitchen, the Grand Café, the bakery, the laundry room and housekeeping.
The goal of this project is so that young persons can acquire certificates with relevant labour market value, enabling them to get a job in the regular job market. A job coach of Philadelphia supports the youngsters in the project and helps them find an appropriate job.By Car:
