Sustainability & Community Engagement at Hamburg Marriott Hotel

Sustainability & Community Engagement

At the Hamburg Marriott Hotel, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting the community in which we are located. Experience our rooms and suites offering modern design and elegant comfort in the heart of the city, 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:

Breakfast spread with fruit yogurt pastries coffee
Too Good To Go

As part of our commitment to responsible resource management, surplus items from our breakfast buffet are offered through the Too Good To Go platform. By giving these high-quality foods a second opportunity to be enjoyed, we actively contribute to reducing food waste and promoting a more sustainable food system.

“Your Choice” Program

Another key initiative is the reintroduction of the “Your Choice” program in August 2025, which allows guests to opt out of daily room cleaning. This helps reduce water consumption, particularly by lowering the need for housekeeping services.

Smarter Sourcing

Our procurement decisions consider not only economic factors but also environmental and social criteria. We prioritize regional and seasonal products to reduce transport distances and strive to minimize packaging through more sustainable alternatives.

Our Focus on Community Engagement

Hamburg Cleans Up

The hotel regularly takes part in the “Hamburg Cleans Up!” initiative, where public spaces such as parks, streets, and green areas are cleaned through collective efforts. Employees actively participate in these events, contributing to the upkeep of the city. These efforts are carried out as part of organized clean-up campaigns in cooperation with the program’s organizers.

NCL Foundation

The NCL Foundation is committed to supporting children affected by the rare metabolic disorder known as childhood dementia, a condition that results in the progressive loss of physical and cognitive abilities. The Hamburg Marriott Hotel supports the foundation through a range of events by providing catering, staff, event space, as well as vouchers for charitable initiatives.

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.
