Each of our luxury hotels have had to embark on their own sustainability journey over the last few years, to earn their status as a Gold Certified hotel with Green Tourism and awarded ECOsmart Platinum by Greengage. This is about more than just swapping out single use plastics in bedrooms, hotels need to invest in a truly sustainable operating model, embed a culture of green thinking and achieving within our teams at each property and commit to a roadmap of change.
