SUSTAINABILITY AT GRAND HYATT MELBOURNE

Caring for the planet is a natural extension of Hyatt’s purpose —to care for people so they can be their best. At Grand Hyatt Melbourne, we are dedicated to sustainability and are committed to making a difference through our daily processes.

Plus, our hotel is a walkable destination with easy access to public transport. We engage and motivate our fellow colleagues to be Hyatt ambassadors, work with our suppliers to develop and provide innovative products and solutions. Our combined efforts have resulted in EARTHCHECK SILVER certification (2024-2025) which is a badge of honour and our hotel's commitment to environmental and sustainable practices.
