Protect the Rockies, Preserve the Future
Nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is a gateway to awe-inspiring wilderness. At our eco-friendly hotel, we are proud to play our part in protecting the environment we call home. From reducing carbon emissions and conserving water to managing waste, sustainability is woven into everything we do. With the help of our global sustainability software, we’re working to minimize our environmental impact while providing you with an enjoyable stay near downtown.
Climate Change and Water Conservation
- Energy-efficient LED lighting and smart sensors throughout the hotel help manage lighting and temperature effectively, cutting down on energy use.
- To conserve water, we’ve implemented low-flow fixtures and use linen-less tables to minimize washing.
- Our voluntary towel reuse program empowers guests to make environmentally conscious choices during their stay.
Waste and Circularity
We collaborate with WOMPOST, a local, woman-owned composting company, to enhance our eco-friendly practices. Food and organic waste are responsibly managed to divert waste from landfills, reduce methane emissions, and enrich soil for local gardens and farms. Our hotel also partners with We Don’t Waste, a nonprofit dedicated to redistributing unused food to those in need. Food from our kitchens is shared with local communities, reducing waste while addressing food insecurity in Denver.
Our Food Philosophy
Rooted in our "Food. Thoughtfully Sourced. Carefully Served." food philosophy, we focus on sourcing from local purveyors and suppliers who employ more sustainable practices, where possible.
Ingredients come from nearby suppliers including our partnership with Box Car Coffee from Boulder, cage-free eggs, sustainable seafood, organic produce, and a variety of vegan and vegetarian dishes. Visit Courier. Market to discover products crafted by local artisans.
Rooftop Beehives initiative
Our eco-friendly hotel is home to two thriving bee colonies on our rooftop. These pollinators play a vital role in enhancing the biodiversity of downtown Denver, supporting local ecosystems and contributing to a greener, more sustainable urban environment. Their honey is incorporated into seasonal cocktails, culinary creations and even our own honey wheat brew – Mile Hive – available at Courier. Kitchen & Bar, allowing guests to savor the sweet rewards of sustainability.
