Many hotels all around the world are taking notice of climate change and how our every movement impacts the environment. Hotel owners and property managers are taking a stand and transforming their properties into eco-friendly and green environments.
But what exactly is an eco-friendly hotel?
Eco-friendly or sustainable hotels are hotels that have reduced the environmental impact that they leave behind. Hotels have started to implement and change the way they do things in the areas of the supplies they use, their services, maintenance, and the products they offer.
The main goals of transforming into an eco-friendly environment revolve around cutting back on water usage, conserving energy, and reducing waste. All of these things can be achieved by making small changes within your hotel now. Fortunately, many of the changes that can be made are not expensive, so not only can you go green, but you can also do it affordably.
Below, we will delve into some of the changes that you can make to get on the eco-friendly train and move towards becoming a sustainable green hotel property.
Improve Guest Services Efficiency
No guest wants to stand around and wait to get checked in or to have to access a certain area of the hotel. In addition, having a bunch of staff on hand to check guests in and unlock doors costs you money in the long run.
Improving the guest experience and efficiency of it is important. You can do this by utilizing remote check-in and check-out. Guests can walk up to a kiosk and simply press a few buttons to check-in. You could also allow guests to check in and out via their cell phones.
Another efficiency measure is to utilize keyless entry. This will cut down on the waste and expense of key cards.
Implement Automatic Conservation
Sometimes, you must go the extra step to ensure that conservation is happening in your hotel. What we mean by this is that leaving a reminder card to turn off the AC when the guest leaves or to turn off the lights is not enough.
Here are some ways that you can ensure conservation happens, even when your guests forget:
Reglaze Your Hotel Fixtures
As you may know, the fixtures within your hotel are subject to a lot of use, wear, and tear. This means that every few years you may need to replace them. However, replacement is expensive and can eat up a lot of your profit. Fortunately, there is an alternative to replacement and that is reglazing.
Reglazing services allow you to get the look and feel of a brand-new tub, sink, or shower stall without having to replace it. You will save time and money without interrupting the guest experience and you will be making a green decision.
Replacing your hotel bathroom fixtures is not environmentally friendly, especially if the fixture sits in a landfill. Through the reglazing process, you keep your current hotel bathroom fixtures.
