Sustainability & Community Engagement at Aloft by Marriott Dublin City

We operate under an ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management System that helps us continually improve how we manage our environmental impact. It guides us in reducing energy use, cutting waste, and working to recognised international environmental standards across the hotel.

In partnership with Celtic Linen, we focus on improving energy and water efficiency through advanced systems across our operations. Our Puresan wash process has significantly reduced water use, while heat exchange technology recovers energy from wastewater to improve efficiency and lower emissions. We also use renewable electricity through Flogas to reduce Scope 2 carbon emissions.

We focus on keeping materials in use for as long as possible. Through linen restoration and textile recovery, over 100 tonnes of linen have been diverted from landfill, saving significant carbon and water. We also work with suppliers who share our values around ethical sourcing, recycled packaging, and lower-impact production.

We believe sustainability extends beyond our hotel and into the local community. On the last Friday of every month, our team takes part in clean-ups around the hotel and surrounding area. We also support initiatives that help maintain and improve the local environment.

Through our bottle return initiative, all bottles and cans are donated to Little Flower Penny Dinners, a local charity that provides food, support, and a welcoming space for people in need. The organisation works to support individuals experiencing poverty, ill health, or homelessness, with a strong focus on dignity, care, and community.

Aloft Dublin City Hotel is proudly Green Key certified, recognising our commitment to a more sustainable hospitality. It reflects the everyday steps we take to reduce our environmental impact and operate responsibly, while continuing to support our guests and the local community in a thoughtful way.

During your stay, you can take part in our DripDrop umbrella initiative — the most direct way for guests to support our sustainability goals. For every umbrella borrowed or rented, a tree is planted, and to date guests have helped plant over 4,300 trees.

Guests can support our sustainability efforts through our Your Choice programme by choosing reduced housekeeping options during their stay, helping conserve water, energy, and cleaning products.

Guests can support our sustainability efforts by helping reduce unnecessary laundry during their stay. Towels left hanging are considered for continued use, while those placed aside will be refreshed. This simple choice helps conserve water, reduce energy use, and lower the environmental impact of daily operations.
