What We’re Doing to Be More Sustainable

Sustainability is about the practical changes we make every day. Across our hotel, meeting spaces, food & beverage operation and guest bedrooms, we are continually looking at ways to reduce energy and water consumption, cut waste and single-use plastics, and give our guests more sustainable choices.

 

Across Our Hotel

Reducing our electricity consumption – high-performance LED lighting is used throughout the hotel.
Reducing single-use plastics – we have removed items such as single-use plastic water bottles and straws, replacing them with more sustainable alternatives wherever possible.
Providing a water hydration station – guests can refill their water at reception, helping reduce the need for individual bottled water.
Supporting greener journeys – Where possible, we encourage car sharing, and we have a transport policy for large events to encourage coaches rather than multiple cars.
ECOsmart Certified – providing independent recognition of the steps we are taking towards more sustainable hotel operations.

 

Food & Beverage

Removing individual portions – we have moved away from individually packaged jams and spreads, using bulk alternatives to reduce packaging and single-use waste.
Bulk breakfast cereals – cereals are provided through bulk dispensers rather than individual packets, reducing unnecessary packaging.
Cooking to order – where possible, we prepare breakfast and other menu items to order rather than producing them in large quantities in advance, helping reduce food waste while providing guests with freshly prepared food.

 

Meetings & Events

Pencils instead of pens – we provide pencils rather than disposable plastic pens, helping reduce our use of single-use plastics.
Making the most of natural daylight – our meeting rooms benefit from natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
Supporting paperless meetings – screens and AV technology allow presentations and meeting materials to be shared digitally.
Digital event planning – proposals, contracts and event information can be provided electronically, helping reduce unnecessary printing and paper usage.
Reducing bottled water – Reusable glass water bottles with our own filtration system rather than individual plastic water bottles.

 

Guest Rooms

Reducing energy when rooms aren’t occupied – Lighting and electricity, helping prevent unnecessary energy use when guests are away from their room.
Moving away from plastic key cards – We use a traditional key at the hotel for all accessible doors.
Using less water – efficient showerheads and toilets help reduce water consumption while maintaining guest comfort.
Linen & Towel Reuse Programme – guests staying for multiple nights can choose to reuse their linen and towels, reducing unnecessary laundering and saving water, energy, and cleaning chemicals.
Making recycling easier – recycling facilities are provided within guest bedrooms.
Removing miniature toiletries – refillable bulk bathroom amenities replace individual miniature bottles, significantly reducing plastic and packaging waste.
