Our Practices
In our efforts to preserve natural resources, the hotel has extensive water and electricity saving as well as waste reduction programs. These are some of our practices:
- Air drying facilities to reduce the use of electric dryers
- Skylights and ample windows throughout the buildings to maximize use of natural light
- Solar panels for water heating
- Energy saving light bulbs, presence-detecting lights, and photovoltaic lamps
- High-tech showerheads that use 65% less water than conventional showerheads
- Rain water harvesting
- A biodigester to treat waste water and produce biogas for water heating
- Environmentally friendly, biodegradable cleaning products, detergents, and soaps to care for the health of our staff members and guests and to avoid water and air pollution
- Chemical-free lawns and gardens
- Use of locally produced, organic goods to reduce our carbon footprint and to help the local economy
- Recycling, composting, and reuse of containers, as well as sound purchasing policies to reduce solid waste
- Carbon offsetting of our already low emissions
