Along with compliance to Green Globe criteria, the hotel has many of its own initiatives, such as choosing to use electricity sourced from 100% wind power provided by electricity supplier EWZ.
This year the hotel introduced new environmental measures including the collection and recycling of all partially used soap from guest rooms. The management team also participated in the World Clean Up Day with their local community. And the hotel has now completed its transition to LED lighting throughout the entire hotel.
