Hotel London: Eco-friendly Options..

A greener shade of London hotel. As one of the most progressive capital cities in the world, London is becoming more environmentally friendly. Accommodation providers are finding new ways to reduce their impact on the environment. Popular strategies among the environmentally-friendly Hotel London include: 1. Recycling. As well as religiously recycling their own waste, many hotels work hard to purchase recycled goods. The Cavendish is one of the many London hotels to have formed a "green team" to ensure that they lower their impact on the environment and build for a more sustainable future. Policies in place include buying ethically sourced free trade tea and coffee, using eco friendly chemicals throughout the hotel and working with suppliers to reduce packaging and transport. 2. Using local, organic and fair trade produce within food and beverage departments. The Crown Plaza Hotel, London has also created a tranquil organic courtyard garden full of semi-tropical plants. The hotel has won awards for its eco ways with programmes that include sheet and towel reuse, recycling and specialist staff training. 3. Constantly striving to reduce electricity, gas and water consumption throughout the hotel. London, as a whole is becoming more successful in energy and water conservation, a pioneer of eco excellence in this field is 51 Buckingham Gate. The apartment hotel is located in St James's and has a specially-appointed green team. It also boasts the only chemical-free Sodashi Spa treatments in the country. The Apex City of London Hotel was specially designed to incorporate eco-friendly features. All rooms boast controlled lighting, heating and air coolers plus dual flush toilets. In fact this London hotel is so dedicated to preserving the environment it even has a dedicated architect responsible for sustainable design. We have named a few of the big luxury hotels making positive moves to reduce their environmental impact, but would like to stress that hotels in all price brackets all over London are also making huge efforts. For instance, The Aster House bed and breakfast in South Kensington has pledged money saved on bills to charity - their methods of encouraging guests to switch off lights, air conditioning and the TV when not using them may not be as high tech as some, but they are effective.
