Reducing plastic use also helps conserve non-renewable resources and combat climate change. Beyond environmental stewardship, reducing plastics aligns with many hotels' sustainability commitments, aids in complying with emerging regulations, and can result in significant cost savings by investing in reusable items.

Our back-up generators are now flood-proof

We are a hotel that takes disaster preparedness seriously. We've upgraded our back-up generator with flood protection to ensure we can continue to provide power in the event of a flood. We've also created a comprehensive disaster plan and trained our staff to be ready to respond in case of an emergency. Our guests feel reassured knowing that we're prepared for any situation. It's important for us to prioritize the safety and comfort of our guests.

We commit to energy-saving

We've implemented several energy-saving initiatives such as LED lighting, motion sensors, and energy-efficient appliances. We've also trained our staff to be more conscious of energy usage, and encourage guests to participate in our sustainability efforts. Our efforts have paid off, and we've saved thousands of dollars on energy costs. It's not just good for the environment, but it's also good for our bottom line.

We reduced food waste by 60%

We are a committed to reducing food waste. We've implemented several initiatives such as ordering smaller quantities, donating leftovers to local food banks, and composting food scraps. We've also trained our staff to be more conscious of food waste, and encourage guests to order only what they can eat. Our efforts have paid off, and we've reduced our food waste by 60%. It's not just good for the environment, but it's also good for our bottom line. We're proud to be making a positive impact, and we hope to inspire others to do the same.
