Hotel Okura Amsterdam: Adaptation Key to Innovation

Recent changes made across the Hotel Okura Amsterdam have been actioned by all departments. In the housekeeping department, traditional detergents have been replaced with the use of Ozon water, which contributes to reduced pollution and is safer for team members, while reducing transportation of bulky cleaning products.

During the low occupancy brought on by Covid the food and beverage department introduced a number of innovations, including the very creative presentation of food portions, leading to less waste while stilling looking lavish. The engineers also worked to optimise the performance of the 180 metre deep thermal-energy storage well, and at the same time, swapping out old boilers with highly efficient modulating boilers that significantly reduce energy use.

And while paperless check-in and check-out replaced manual systems in reception, the hotel management team was introduced to the energy saving and pollution reduction benefits of the company’s new electric-hybrid car.
