HOME HOTELS LE CLUB Five hotels with serious eco-friendly credentials The List
Six Senses Con Dao, Vietnam Designed to minimize its environmental footprint, the Six Senses Con Dao in Vietnam is one of the most eco-friendly hotels in the world, set in a protected national and marine park, and styled like a traditional fishing village. The rooms are built from reclaimed teakwood, and with good airflow throughout, the use of air conditioning is kept to a minimum. The hotel also works in close collaboration with the park for conservation and restoration initiatives.
Book your stay Crosby Street Hotel, New York In Manhattan, it’s hard to find anything green beyond Central Park, but head to the Rooftop Kitchen Garden of the Crosby Street Hotel and you’ll find an urban fruit and vegetable patch that not only supplies the hotel with fresh produce but also serves the higher purpose of a green roof, protecting from UV radiation and decreasing heating and cooling costs. The hotel also has a sculpture garden.
Book your stay Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, Vietnam Accessible only by boat, the Six Senses Ninh Van Bay is another hotel built with the eco-conscious traveler. The hotel is committed to developing a sustainable environment...something you’ll see in how the organic garden supplies most of the hotel’s vegetables, and its solar system most of its energy. The hotel is also involved in an endangered monkey conservation initiative, helped along by its setting on an isolated bay surrounded by forested hills.
Book your stay Soori Bali, Indonesia For this hotel imagined by architect Soo K. Chan, the focus is on sustainable tourism and green initiatives...like how the buildings and gardens have been designed to maximise airflow and the passing of filtered natural light through the resort, or how the decor is that of indigenous volcanic rock and abundant greenery. The hotel also has a sense of community, sourcing most of its ingredients, products and services from local establishments.
Book your stay The Chesterfield Mayfair As a Red Carnation Hotel working in collaboration with the TreadRight Foundation to “Make Travel Matter”, the Chesterfield Mayfair is a hotel more environmentally responsible than most. For a start, the hotel keeps 60,000 bees up on its roof, producing most of the honey used around the hotel and supporting the British bee population. The hotel also minimizes the use of plastic in favor of biodegradable materials while guest rooms have fabric walls to minimize the use of harmful paints.
