In collaboration with British artist Victoria Noakes, we present The Wave, a powerful and playful installation honouring our location along the River Thames and to raise awareness of its biodiversity. The installation was crafted using recycled metals, banana fibre fabric, water-based dyes, deadstock fabric, and recycled wood. This eco-friendly approach highlights our commitment to environmental consciousness and aim to educate kids and adults on the importance of our surroundings.

Sustainable Dining
Sustainability and responsibility are at the heart of our dining experience. Partnering with JING, our tea provider, we proudly serve carbon-neutral teas sourced solely from single-origin gardens. Additionally, we are committed towards our certification with The PLEDGE on Food Waste, adopting a holistic approach to reducing food waste. Led by our food lovers’ committee, we have been educating and engaging with our associates, guests, and partners to work together and join us on this journey.
Green Meetings
Our Green Meetings offer partners the opportunity to embark on a shared sustainability journey with us. By choosing our eco-conscious package, together we can make meaningful strides towards a greener future, ensuring every meeting aligns with our commitment to sustainability.
Reducing Our Environmental Impact
With our residential amenities, we have achieved a 35% reduction in plastic usage, including the elimination of single-use plastics such as water bottles which are now paper and plant-based, resulting in over 180,000 fewer single-use plastic bottles per year. Additionally, we have installed water-saving water fixtures, reducing water usage by 50% annually. Our transition to digital guest registration forms and folios has also reduced paper usage by 15% per year.
Recycling
We implement comprehensive recycling initiatives to minimize waste and promote sustainability. This includes recycling Nespresso pods and repurposing used coffee grounds into biomass fuels. To encourage recycling among guests and attendees, we provide recycling bins in guest rooms and meeting spaces. Moreover, our commitment extends to using electric waste collection vehicles fuelled by renewable energy sources, further reducing our environmental impact.
