The Green Key accreditation shows our commitment and dedication to sustainability and that we are actively working to reduce our impact on the planet. 

For guests, a Green Key certification shows that the establishment is committed to reducing the environmental impact of their stay.

This certification reflects our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint through eco-friendly practices, energy conservation, waste reduction, and supporting local communities. From implementing water-saving technologies to sourcing local and organic products, we continuously strive to make responsible choices that benefit both our guests and the planet. This commitment extends beyond just eco-friendly practices, it includes:  

  • Installation of key card operated bedroom lights across the hotel 

  • Installation of new technology LED lighting throughout all bedrooms 

  • Monitoring and reduction of all waste generated by the hotel  

  • Creation of biodiversity areas to promote native species 

  • Sponsorship of local charities and organisations who promote green initiatives 

Our hotels aren’t just about a comfortable stay – they’re about caring for the planet and actively giving back to the community. Guests can now enjoy their stay knowing that our choice aligns with responsible and ethical values.

From energy efficiency to waste reduction, the Green Key award reflects a holistic approach to environmental responsibility. We strive every day to give back to the planet and the community through our environmental actions.
