At Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact while supporting the community in which we operate. Enjoy a downtown experience while knowing your stay is responsibly managed.
From reducing waste, water, and energy use to responsibly sourcing our food & beverage ingredients, our sustainable practices incorporate:
Through partnerships such as Arbor Day Foundation initiatives, opportunities exist to support environmental restoration and reforestation efforts.
Food waste reduction is supported through operational practices and technology, including systems that help track and reduce waste while diverting organic material from landfill through on‑site processing solutions.
Guests may choose reduced housekeeping services during their stay, supporting conservation of water, energy, and cleaning resources while maintaining comfort.
Our culinary team supports strategic menu planning to minimize waste, cross‑utilize ingredients, and offer responsibly sourced options, including cage‑free eggs and sustainable seafood.
Meeting spaces feature bottled‑water alternatives, bulk beverage dispensers, recycled‑content paper products, and clutter‑free setups to reduce unnecessary waste.
Through Marriott Bonvoy Events™, planners can receive a detailed meeting impact report and explore opportunities to support responsible event practices.
During your stay, we invite you to take part in simple choices that support responsible practices across the hotel and contribute to broader sustainability efforts.
Guests staying multiple nights may opt out of daily housekeeping services, helping conserve water, energy, and cleaning resources without impacting comfort.
Unused guest amenities, furniture, and materials are redirected through donation and reuse programs to support local organizations and reduce landfill contribution.
Guests are encouraged to reduce single‑use plastics through access to water refill stations and bottled‑water alternatives throughout the hotel. In‑room and public‑space initiatives support responsible use while maintaining comfort and convenience during each stay.
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.
