Our Focus on Sustainability

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

Reducing Single-Use Plastics

We actively minimize single-use plastics across the hotel by replacing disposable items with reusable or more sustainable alternatives whenever possible. This approach helps reduce waste, conserve resources, and support a more responsible guest experience.

Supporting Local Producers

We prioritize locally sourced beverage & food ingredients whenever possible, partnering with regional producers and suppliers. This helps support local communities, reduces transportation-related emissions, and brings fresher, more authentic flavors to our guests.

Food Waste Management

Our beverage and food operations are supported by an on-site biodigester that helps process organic waste generated by the hotel. This technology contributes to a more efficient waste management process and supports responsible operational practices.

Energy Efficiency

The hotel features solar panels that support water preheating, an initiative that helps improve energy efficiency while supporting daily hotel operations.

Stormwater Management

Outdoor areas incorporate drainage solutions designed to support rainwater absorption and water management. These features help improve site resilience and contribute to more efficient handling of stormwater runoff.

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.

Doing Good in Every Direction

At Marriott International, being a force for good is embedded in our DNA. Driven by the same core value we've had since our founding, to Serve Our World, our sustainability and social impact platform, Serve 360, guides our efforts to integrate responsible practices throughout our operations.
