How have environmental trends impacted the design and construction of contemporary hotels worldwide?
While there are avid debaters on both sides, the world is increasingly becoming aware of climate change and its implications. Hotels have not been on the sidelines. Many have started being green conscious by implementing simple programs of asking the guest to reuse linen for the duration of the stay to something as complicated as recycling the water. Nowadays everything related to a hotel – from construction, to launch, to operation, to supplies, etc.—has some sort of green option available. Everything from the materials being used (such as self-cleaning carpets and linens) to technology is becoming more and more environmentally friendly and this trend will continue with some hotels soon to claim near zero carbon footprints.
Hotels are embracing environmental consciousness, from linen reuse to advanced recycling, offering eco-friendly options across operations.
