ENERGYSAVING

Floor-to-ceiling windows in restaurants, bars and guest rooms not only create a bright and welcoming space, but also provide amazing views and plenty of natural light.

Dimming systems and motions sensor are installed at certain locations to provide essential lightings.

We have also been participating in the Charter on External Light organised by Environment Bureau of The HKSAR Government by switching off the external lightings of decorative purpose daily from 10:45pm to 5:30pm .

BAOBEER

With the aim to minimise food wastage, we have launched our own craft beer ‘Bao Beer’, made with surplus bread from bakery at Domain.

DIGITALISED GUEST SERVICES

We provide the seamless service in guest rooms as well as FEAST and Domain.

By scanning a QR code in the room, an extensive range of services such as room service and in-room dining order are only a few taps away. Diners at FEAST and Domain can simply order food and drinks by scanning a QR code using their personal devices to enjoy a paperless dining experiences, minimising the use of paper for menu printing.

GREENER MEALS

Going green is tastier than ever with our healthy plant-based menus that use meat-free alternatives. We only source cage-free eggs in our energy-efficient kitchens and Sugar offers guests a selection of vegan and biodynamic wines from France and Spain.

SAY NO TO SINEGLE-USE CUPS

Huskee eco-takeaway cup is introduced to replace and minimise the use of plastic or paper cups at Domain. The cup made from coffee husk is available at a special price for on-the-go coffee drinkers.

SIP ANDSAVE

Water is precious; so we’re constantly exploring new ways to reduce our usage and ditch single-use plastic bottles. Key steps we’ve taken include installing in-room filters and flow controllers as well as working with NGO ‘Water for Free’ to give away free drinking water to anyone who brings their own cup or bottle.

REUSE ANDRECYCLE

We’re big believers in living a minimal waste lifestyle – that’s why over 80% of our hotel products are reusable or recyclable. Making eco-friendly choices like paper over plastic packaging, process used cooking oil into biodesel, use coffee ground as fertilisers, dispensers for body care products and inviting guests to take part in our Go Green Programme - because only changing linens and towels when needed, is the just the beginning!

SUSTAINABLECHRISTMAS VILLAGE

Every Christmas since 2014, we decorate the hotel lobby with the signature sustainable Christmas Village and restaurants with eco-friendly festive decorations made with unwanted materials e.g. wine boxes, plastic caps, wine corks, wine bottles etc., from our restaurants as well as fallen logs collected from Typhoon Mangkhut in 2018.

OURCOMMUNITY

Sustainability is team effort. We love working with local organisations such as Foodlink Foundation to donate unused food to those who need it most.

We also invite our community to explore questions of urban living and sustainability through artistic expression. In 2021, we launched the ‘City Symphony’ interactive exhibition to provide guests an opportunity to explore the Taikoo neighbourhood through an art installation comprised of sounds and imaginative sculptures made from reused pine wood.

FRESHAIR

We have obtained an Excellent Class in the IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) Certification Scheme set up by Environmental Protection Department in Hong Kong, pledging to provide a safe and healthy environment for our guests and team members. 

BACK TONATURE

There’s no greener way to travel than by bike or on foot. That’s why we’re inspiring guests to get out and explore Hong Kong’s natural side with complimentary hiking packs and bicycle rental. Borrow a bike, strap on your running shoes and discover parks, trails and green spaces.
