Rise Beyond the Reef x IHG
All guest rooms at the InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, Grand Pacific Hotel Suva, and Holiday Inn Suva now feature custom ironing board covers from non-profit Rise Beyond the Reef, hand-printed by young people from rural Fijian communities, including those living with disabilities, through Rise Beyond the Reef’s Studio Print program.
