SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS

Hotel Colonnade strives to help make a difference in our community and we are commited to taking specific steps to be environmentally aware and socially responsible. The following sustainability efforts help us reduce our negative impact on our environment.

Energy Conservation

We use an energy management system in all public spaces and light sensors in all meeting rooms. We have converted 95% of our light bulbs to LED and continue to change until we reach 100%.

Recycle

Recycling waste baskets can be found in all rooms and public spaces. In addition, our cardboard recycling program is in use for all the boxes we receive daily.

Water Conservation

We have dual flush, low flow toilets and faucets in every guestroom.

Disposables

We removed all disposable items from associate use, changed to wood stirrers and paper straws to be only used as needed. Our bathroom toiletries are in bulk refillable dispensers.

For our soap, which is the only individual size amenity, we participate in Clean The World which collects used toiletries to then recycle them to help those in need.

Guest Linens

We offer a linen reuse program to all guests in order to reduce water and energy waste.

Eco-Friendly Filtered Water Dispensers

We have filtered water bottle filling stations in all public spaces to minimize the use of plastic water bottles.
