The iconic hotel is still redefining what sustainable luxury and hospitality means. Sofitel has started a spectacular journey towards sustainable and environmental responsibility, adhering to its core values. The removal of plastic water bottles is the essential component of this transition. In a daring step that pays homage to both sustainability and refinement, Sofitel has also installed an on-site bottling system that uses glass bottles that are purchased locally. Among their myriad of eco-friendly measures is the decision to use less water and electricity, and to change bedding less frequently, of course keeping the needs of each guest in mind. Paper packaging and wooden goods have taken the place of single-use plastics, and the hotel’s commitment to minimizing environmental effect is further demonstrated by the introduction of digital menus and an intelligent online clearance system. In order to ensure that sustainability is not just an ideal but also a practical reality for everyone who visits, Sofitel Dubai Downtown supports the electric car revolution by providing guests with priority parking and on-site EV chargers.
