Environmental Issues

The main areas where our hotels have the greatest impact on the environment are energy, water, waste, raw materials and the supply chain. As such, we have worked closely with our partners and within each hotel to implement various programmes to help us reduce our overall impact. These positive initiatives and programmes include the following:-
All cardboard and glass is collected and recycled by specialist recycling companies.
Low energy lighting has been fitted wherever possible in the hotels.
Thermostatic control valves have been fitted on all bedroom radiators to reduce energy usage.
New energy efficient boilers were installed in 4 (out of 7) of our hotels in 2007.
Hippo bags (a saver flush device) have been installed in all toilet cisterns to reduce water usage.
Increased awareness of impacts to guests through information cards and to staff through in-house training.

Other initiatives have also been introduced to reduce our overall impact and we are working on developing further initiatives for the future, which include alternative energy sources.

We recognise that our guests, employees, suppliers and partners have key roles in helping us to reduce our impacts and we are committed to working with our hotels and partners to promote positive environmental initiatives.
