and water consumption management, plastic waste management, food waste management, and building on our food supply resilience.

Our hotel is listed on Expedia Group with the UNESCO Sustainable Travel Pledge badge, and on Booking.com with the Travel Sustainable Badge. We are also ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management Systems certified. Our hotel is anticipating certification from the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) after completing a rigorous preparation process and audit. The GSTC is a recognised organisation that sets the standards for sustainable tourism practices, so obtaining this certification will be a significant achievement for our hotel.

Renewable Energy: Spearheading our hotel’s affinity and commitment to sustainability is our installation of 210 rooftop solar panels that generate over 350 kWh of renewable energy per day, which power the hotel’s 13 lifts and emergency lightings, reducing the overall electrical consumption by about 1.4%. Within 19 months of installation, over 175,000kWh of renewable energy have been produced, resulting in reduction of 120 tonnes of carbon emission.

Energy Management: Our hotel has installed motion sensors in all guestrooms, which enable intelligent temperature control and efficient use of energy. These motion sensors power down lights and air-conditioning when guests are not present.

Elimination of Single-use Plastic: The installation of a water filtration system and the provision of glass bottles in all guestrooms have enabled our hotel to eliminate 360,000 single-use plastic bottles a year. We have also replaced miniature bath amenities with refillable pump bottles in every guestroom, eliminating two million miniature plastic packaging a year.

Water Consumption Management: In the bathrooms, the installation

of low-flow shower heads reduces water flow from 27 litres to 9 litres per minute.

Food Waste Management: Better planning of menus months in advance helps reduce food waste. Our hotel always tries to offer seasonal greens so that the vegetables can be grown at our Urban Farm, or at least sourced from locally owned suppliers, that practice sustainable methodologies. When you grow your own fruit and vegetables, you only harvest what you need so there’s no waste!

We recycle food waste, such as vegetables and fruit peels, poultry, bones, and egg shells. Our Chefs make use of the beef trimmings from other beef dishes, to make ‘Shredded Beef Ragu Pasta’. The beef is slowly braised for at least six hours until it is tender, then shredded for the ragu sauce.

Another example of an ingredient that we recycle is the watermelon rind –the white parts of the rind are used like a vegetable for stir-fried dishes, and has a slightly crunchy texture, similar to cucumber or zucchini.

Waste Management: We switched from a traditional chafing dish system to the EcoBurner system, a new line of waterless and cableless chafing dishes. In 2022, our hotel saved a total of 14,400 litres of water, prevented 2,738kg of waste from going to the landfill, and reduced carbon emission by 12 tonnes.

Circular Economy: We partner with Nespresso to collect used coffee capsules from the guestrooms. The aluminium from the capsules are repurposed and upcycled into products, such as bicycle frames and ballpoint pens, while the coffee grounds are processed into compost and then sent back to our Urban Farm. This also helps our Urban Farm to eliminate the chemical intervention for its crops, thereby delivering fresh and tasty vegetables and herbs used in the hotel’s restaurants. In 2022, a total of 130kg of coffee grounds were turned into coffee compost.
