Sustainability at Adelaide Marriott Hotel

Sustainability & Community Engagement

At Adelaide Marriott, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting the community in which we are located. Enjoy the heart of Adelaide CBD within the historic 19th‑century GPO building, while knowing your stay is responsibly managed.

Our Focus on Sustainability

From reducing waste, water, and energy use to responsibly sourcing our food & beverage ingredients, our sustainable practices incorporate:

Energy & Resource Efficiency

Energy‑efficient lighting, sensor‑controlled systems, and smart climate management help reduce consumption when guest rooms and shared spaces are unoccupied, supporting responsible daily operations across the hotel.

Waste Reduction & Circular Practices

Recycling and general waste separation are available in guest rooms and meeting spaces. Food production is carefully managed, with food waste directed to approved composting processes and recyclable materials separated back of house.

Responsible Sourcing & Guest Participation

Food and beverage operations prioritise ethically sourced seafood and poultry from South Australian suppliers. Guests can participate through optional towel and linen reuse, supporting reduced water, energy, and chemical usage during their stay.

Our Focus on Community Engagement

From working closely with South Australian suppliers, producers, and service partners to support local businesses and strengthen regional connections to responsible sourcing, employment opportunities, and meaningful partnerships our community engagement efforts include:

Supporting Local Suppliers

We partner with South Australian producers and suppliers across food, beverage, and services, helping support local businesses and reduce supply chain distance wherever practical.

Local Employment & Development

Our hotel creates employment opportunities for local talent and supports professional development through training, education, and supports professional development through training and education with AHASA.

Connecting Guests to Place

We encourage guests to engage with Adelaide through local dining, cultural experiences, and nearby attractions, supporting the wider visitor economy and sense of place.

For those guests looking to support our sustainability & social impact efforts at any time, we encourage our community of Marriott Bonvoy members to consider donating their points to our partners, such as UNICEF, WWF, and more.
