Stay Green

Environmental mission statement

We believe that exceptional personalized service can be delivered responsibly; and to this end, we align ourselves with equally responsible partners, and endeavour to improve our practices and continually reduce our impact on our environment.

Greening of your suite

• When possible, we send information, confirmations and booking contracts electronically rather than on paper
• In-suite bin for recyclables
• Pharmacopia bath amenities that are all natural, organic, vegan and free of parabens and sulfates; they also smell and feel fantastic
• Linen replacement options that decrease water and detergent use:
  - Bath linens are replaced only when you specify
  - When you stay multiple nights, bed linens are replaced when you specify
• In-suite organic composting
• Energy efficient lighting, heating & cooling
• We serve water in coolers or pitchers where possible, in place of water bottles
• We use compostable stir sticks
• We use local and organic produce when possible
• Our green team welcomes new ways to improve our environmental responsibility, so please do not hesitate to give us your suggestions

Greening behind the scenes

We love our city and our planet and want to keep it healthy.
