Sustainability

Our solar thermal panel system supplies a significant portion of the hotel’s hot water, helping to reduce carbon emissions. We have installed water-saving fixtures and fittings in every guest room to help reduce consumption without affecting guest comfort. Condensate recovered from our air-conditioning systems is reused for landscape irrigation, reducing the need for potable water.

We actively manage energy use across the hotel to reduce electricity consumption without affecting your comfort. LED lighting throughout the property delivers the required light with lower energy use, while our Building Management System and Room Management System monitor and control consumption. The building’s high-performance façade uses solar-reflective properties to limit heat gain, helping us regulate indoor temperatures and reduce the need for cooling.

We take a practical approach to waste management, with recycling facilities available in designated areas throughout the hotel for paper, metal, glass, plastic and used cooking oil. Collected cooking oil is sent to a specialist recycling facility for processing, while we prioritise recyclable packaging and sustainable materials wherever possible. These measures help us reduce waste and make more responsible use of resources across our operations.

We promote the use of Dubai Tram and Monorail. We have electric car charging stations available. Guests can also take advantage of our bicycles to get around.

We reduce single-use plastics through our in-house water bottling facility, which provides filtered drinking water in reusable glass bottles across guest rooms and dining venues. This helps us eliminate the use of approximately 500,000 plastic bottles each year. We also use paper-based alternatives and plastic-free takeaway packaging wherever possible, reducing the amount of single-use plastic used across the hotel.

We take part in tree-planting initiatives with Dubai Municipality, Emirates Environmental Group (EEG) and mangrove programmes across the UAE. Over the years, we have planted numerous trees through these partnerships, supporting local biodiversity and adding to Dubai’s green spaces.

Every effort is made to implement greener practices at our hotel. We don’t use HCFC refrigerants, and we partner with local suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint. We follow an environmental room policy to change sheets every third day for long stay guests and encourage visitors to reuse towels where possible.

Our sustainability efforts have earned recognition through the Green Growth 2050 Platinum Certification, the Dubai Sustainable Tourism Stamp Silver Award and the UNESCO Travel Pledge. These achievements reflect our commitment to sustainable growth and provide a foundation for continuing to build on this work in the years ahead.

We offer meeting experiences that incorporate more responsible choices, from responsibly sourced menus and Fairtrade® certified sugar to filtered water bottled on site in reusable glass bottles. We also reduce single-use plastics wherever possible and use Green Event Reporting to track the environmental performance of our events. Our approach is supported by Green Growth 2050 Platinum Certification and the Dubai Sustainable Tourism Stamp.
