Responsible Hospitality for a Better Future

At Grand Hyatt Istanbul, sustainability is an essential part of the guest experience. In line with Hyatt’s Care & Wellbeing approach, we aim to reduce our environmental impact through energy and water efficiency, waste management, responsible sourcing practices, and environmentally conscious event solutions.

Our efforts to preserve natural resources are carried out while maintaining the high service standards offered to our guests, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Energy and Water Management

The responsible use of energy and water resources forms the foundation of our efforts to reduce environmental impact. As part of this commitment:

• Energy-efficient LED lighting is used in guestrooms and public areas.

• Heating and cooling systems are optimized according to operational needs.

• Lighting in meeting rooms is activated only when the spaces are in use.

• Water-saving fixtures are preferred to help reduce water consumption.

• A voluntary reuse program is offered, allowing guests to reuse towels and linens.

• Printing needs are minimized through digital reporting and planning tools.

• Reusable and environmentally conscious materials are prioritized in operational processes.

• Local and seasonal products are preferred whenever possible.
