SUSTAINABILITY — MORE THAN A BUZZWORD, AND STILL MISUNDERSTOOD.
Yes, sustainability is about doing the right thing for our beautifully green, beautifully unique planet. That being said, it’s more than that, especially in hotels—it’s also about creating that wow factor for your guests.
Making your hotel more sustainable can actually be a huge influence during the hotel-decision-making process of all vacationers and travelers. And the best part? It’s easier than you think!
10 INCREDIBLY SIMPLE AND STYLISH WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOTEL MORE ECO-FRIENDLY TODAY:
LED Lighting: A Bright Idea (Literally)
If you haven’t upgraded to LED lighting, what the heck are you waiting for? These energy-efficient bulbs not only use less power and last longer, but they also come in a range of warm and cool tones to perfectly match your hotel’s style. And, if that’s not enough, they cut down your electricity bill and carbon footprint.
Refillable Water Stations: Hydrate, Don’t Pollute
It’s time to leave single-use plastic bottles in 2024. Honestly, they probably should have been left in 1999—right next to dial-up internet and questionable fashion choices. Instead, why not install hydration stations throughout your hotel and give guests an easy way to refill their reusable bottles? It cuts down on plastic waste and keeps everyone effortlessly hydrated.

And I get it—water doesn’t have the same allure as a hideously unhealthy sugary drink (or it’s equally as uninspiring sugar-free counterpart). But let me introduce you to flavored water, packed with vitamins and minerals. This is where your guests start racking up bonus points for you. They’ll remember the room, the service, and—yes—the water.
From Self-Service to Smart Service
Go Paperless—Cause Paperless Doesn’t Grow on Trees
Go digital and save the trees—one sheet at a time! From mobile check-in to digital room service menus, giving guests easy access to everything they need on their phones makes their stay seamless and sustainable. It’s effortless, waste-free, and adds a modern touch that today’s travelers love.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products: Green and Clean
Just a little FYI: There’s no need for harsh chemicals to keep your hotel sparkling. Easily switch to biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning products that are just as effective and waaay more eco-friendly. Guests will notice the fresher, cleaner air (and so will your grateful housekeeping team).
Recycling Bins That Look Good (and Work Hard)
Recycling doesn’t have to be a chore. Make it easy by placing clearly labeled bins throughout your hotel—sleek, stylish options are everywhere now. From guest rooms to hallways to the lobby, you’ll help guests feel good about recycling, and keep your space looking tidy and organized.
