RIU Hotels & Resorts is an international company founded in Mallorca, Spain, with hotels and resorts in 21 countries (including five in the United States and two—soon to be three—in New York City). At the end of 2023, RIU began supporting Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital as part of the company’s Proudly Committed sustainability strategy, which focuses on child protection, education and health. RIU supports Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital’s Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy department, which uses art and other therapeutic tools to help children and their families cope with their hospital stay and treatment. Thanks in part to the generous support of RIU Hotels & Resorts, children are able to enjoy art and other therapeutic activities while Child Life and Creative Arts specialists guide the children and their families through the process, offering emotional and psychological support.
