For travellers seeking sustainable luxury accommodations, JW Marriott
Hotel Hong Kong offers an eco-friendly stay without compromising on
comfort or elegance.
On 13 June 2024, the hotel unveiled a comprehensive sustainability
programme across its guestrooms, meeting spaces, and dining options,
focusing on reducing environmental impacts and inspiring guests to adopt
greener lifestyles.
Staying green
The hotel has introduced several eco-friendly measures in its guestrooms:
- Waste Reduction: Digital check-in and checkout
processes, online newspapers, digital menus, and sustainable
alternatives for bottled water and amenities are now standard.
- Recycling: Recycling bins are placed in guestrooms
and staff areas. Leftover soap bars are donated to social enterprises,
and used furniture and equipment are given to non-profits. Recyclable
coffee capsules and biodegradable tea bags are provided to guests.
- Energy and Water Saving: In-room digital
thermostats with energy-efficient valves, faucet flow regulators, and
over 95% LED lighting are installed. Guests are encouraged to reuse
towels and bed linens.
- Accessible Location: The hotel is connected to the Admiralty MTR station, promoting sustainable commuting options for guests.
JW Marriott Hong Kong is also offering the "Stay Green at JW"
package, which includes accommodation with daily breakfast, two reusable
stainless steel water bottles, and one reusable tote bag per stay.
Guests also receive HK$50 in daily dining credit at Fish Bar, that
focuses sustainable seafood choices, and an extra HK$50 dining credit
daily at Fish Bar instead of daily room makeup services.
Sustainable meeting solutions
JW Marriott Hong Kong provides reusable bottled water instead of plastic.
The hotel offers eco-friendly meeting solutions, such as:
- Paperless events: Digital signage, screens,
projectors, and QR code menus reduce paper use. LED walls in the JW
Marriott Ballroom are used for presentations.
- Eco-friendly water solutions: Aluminium bottled water replaces plastic. Delegates are encouraged to use refillable containers.
- Green food and beverage: Menus feature sustainable
ingredients and local produce. Plant-based options are available, and
food waste is donated or recycled.
- Energy saving: Venues like the Executive Meeting Suites and the HarbourDen provide natural daylight to reduce energy consumption.
Sustainable gastronomy
The hotel's restaurants emphasise sustainability through:
- Responsible sourcing: Menus feature sustainable
seafood, organic ingredients, and local produce. Vegetarian options and
eco-friendly beverages are available.
- JW Garden: Herbs grown in the hotel's garden are used in dishes and cocktails.
- Food waste management: Chefs create recipes using all parts of the ingredients, and surplus food is donated or recycled.
- Eco-conscious operations: Digital menus, portioned meals, and biodegradable takeaway packaging are implemented.
