Our Green Commitments

1. Energy Efficiency

Electricity meters monitor our carbon footprint and help us improve energy management.

Guests are encouraged to reuse towels to reduce the energy required for laundering.

Heating and cooling systems are proactively managed and reviewed daily to maximise efficiency.

 

2. Water Conservation

Guests can opt out of daily bed linen changes and reuse towels, reducing water usage.

Regular inspections are conducted to check for leaks in bathrooms and guestrooms.

We do not use automated watering systems; instead, our gardens are planted with species that thrive naturally without excessive irrigation.

Comprehensive recycling systems are in place across the hotel to reduce landfill waste.

We are currently eliminating single-use plastics, including disposable cups and bottled water in rooms.

Compostable takeaway cups and recyclable straws are used in our dining and bar areas.

Paperless receipts and digital invoicing are standard at reception.

All staff communications and documentation are handled digitally via the Alkimii portal.

Scrap paper and old menus are reused for internal notes.

Grease traps in the kitchen capture residues, preventing water pollution and ensuring cleaner wastewater disposal.

 

4. Sustainable Sourcing & Food Practices

We monitor stock levels closely to avoid over-ordering and wastage.

Our banqueting and event menus include vegan, and vegetarian options.
