For travellers seeking sustainable luxury accommodations, JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong offers an eco-friendly stay without compromising on comfort or elegance. The hotel recently 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.

A Green Stay Experience

JW Marriott Hong Kong unveiled the joy of eco-friendly travel with an environmentally conscious stay to mitigate the environmental impacts. Major sustainable measures executed in the guestrooms include:

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.

Sustainable meeting solutions

To reduce the use of plastic, paper, electricity, and food wastage, the hotel implemented the following:

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.

A dedicated ‘Meet Green at JW’ package that goes beyond the ordinary to deploy additional strategies to minimise the carbon footprint for any meeting or event. Initiatives include:

• Serving a meticulously designed green menu brimming with nourishing and wholesome delicacies
• Providing one complimentary reusable stainless steel insulated water bottle for each attendee to refill the bottles using the water dispensers
• Setting up a central stationery desk to provide essentials for attendees’ needs

Sustainable gastronomy

On green sourcing, the hotel's restaurants will emphasise sustainability with the following efforts:

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.

Celebrating and respecting the bounty of the sea, the hotel’s alfresco seafood restaurant, Fish Bar, reopened in spring 2024 to present a sustainable dining experience after a comprehensive renovation. A strong emphasis on green dining is reflected in the restaurant’s interior design and food and beverage choices as well as operations.

As the world is facing severe environmental challenges, JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong will continue to champion sustainable values and engage hotel guests in concrete actions for a greener future.
