For each receipt issued at the GB Roof Garden restaurant over the next three months, 1 euro will be added to a donation for the association.

The hotel aims to help the “Friends of Welfare” project, where experienced scientists from the fields of health, show care for children and their families that face a serious illness or have lost a loved one. All services of the “Friends of Welfare” are provided free of charge.
