Sustainability & Community Engagement at Courtyard by Marriott Ghent
Sustainability & Community Engagement
At Courtyard by Marriott Ghent, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting the community in which we are located. Enjoy modern comfort, authentic Belgian flavors and easy access to historic Ghent while knowing your stay is responsibly managed.
Right above you, our living rooftop is slowly taking root. This natural layer helps insulate the building, keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter, while creating a welcoming habitat for local birds and pollinators. Living roofs can also help reduce heat in urban areas, making them a valuable addition to cities.
Rainwater collected on site helps keep our landscaping green without relying on drinking water. Inside, treated greywater is reused within the hotel’s heating and cooling systems. Together, these circular practices help reduce our demand for fresh water and make better use of this valuable resource.
Explore Ghent at your own pace with a bicycle rented directly from the hotel. Cycling offers an active and convenient way to reach the city center while discovering its hidden cafés, historic streets and green spaces. Choosing two wheels also helps reduce the need for short car journeys during your stay.
Our sustainability efforts extend beyond the hotel itself. With 40 electric vehicle charging points available on site, guests can conveniently recharge during their stay. By supporting electric mobility, we aim to make more responsible travel choices easier for everyone visiting Courtyard by Marriott Ghent.
Through Marriott’s Your Choice program, guests staying multiple nights can choose to skip daily housekeeping and linen changes. This helps reduce the water, energy and cleaning products used during each stay. By taking part, you support a more mindful approach to hotel operations without compromising your comfort.
Sustainability isn’t a destination; it’s a commitment we renew every day. By staying with us, you become an active partner in a more mindful future. From the food on your plate to the roof over your head, your journey supports a thriving planet. Book your stay and experience hospitality that cares for you and the world we share.
