Solar panels located on the roof contribute to the hotel’s renewable energy supply.
Energy‑efficient elevators and escalators operate with reduced power demand, further lowering overall consumption.
In our kitchens, ENERGY STAR®‑rated dishwashers and pot washers equipped with heat‑recovery systems and insulated paneling help minimize energy loss during operation.
Guestrooms are equipped with LED lighting and motion‑activated occupancy sensors.
In our meeting spaces, sensors help regulate ventilation and air‑conditioning based on room activity, and HVAC systems run according to event schedules rather than continuous operation.

Water Stewardship & Housekeeping

Water conservation is a key pillar of our sustainability strategy.

Our linen and towel reuse program encourages multi‑night guests to reduce water and energy use by opting out of daily laundering.
Throughout the hotel, low‑flow showerheads, faucets, aerators, and restroom fixtures are installed to reduce water consumption without compromising comfort or performance.
Back‑of‑house employee areas follow the same conservation practices as guest‑facing spaces, ensuring consistent stewardship across the entire property.

Minimizing Single Use Plastics

We continue to take meaningful steps to reduce single‑use plastics throughout the hotel.

Our guestrooms feature bulk bath amenities, eliminating the need for miniature plastic bottles and significantly reducing plastic waste over time.
To support waste reduction and minimize single‑use plastics, refillable water stations are available in public areas and on every guest floor.
Food and beverage outlets and banquet operations default to straw‑free service, offering biodegradable alternatives.
