Hotels Taking Steps Towards Sustainability in Roundwood

InterContinental Dublin, an IHG Hotel, stands out as an embodiment of luxury paired with an unwavering commitment to sustainability. The hotel has taken strides to become a leader in the industry, making conscious efforts to combat climate change by reducing its energy intensity. This unique blend of opulence and environmental consciousness makes it a remarkable destination for those who value sustainability without compromising on comfort and class.

Going above and beyond the standards typically set by five-star hotels, InterContinental Dublin continually innovates to improve its eco-friendly policies. This commitment extends from energy-efficient practices within the hotel to larger scale sustainability initiatives. All these efforts underline the hotel's goal to offer a premium, environmentally conscious experience to each person who chooses to stay there, demonstrating that luxury and sustainability can indeed coexist harmoniously.

At the intersection of luxury and sustainability, the Herbert Park Hotel and Park Residence stands as a proud recipient of the Eco-Label by Green Hospitality Award. This honour recognizes the hotel's success in meeting stringent criteria for eco-friendliness. Embracing a robust environmental management policy, Herbert Park Hotel acknowledges the crucial role the hospitality industry plays in safeguarding the environment for future generations and sustaining the tourism sector in the long term.

In line with these commitments, the hotel has established a series of ambitious objectives: a 15% reduction in energy consumption alongside a decrease in carbon emissions by 2 tonnes; a 17% reduction in mains water usage; and a commitment to reducing landfill waste by a substantial 35%. They also aim to reduce packaging by 25% by collaborating with their suppliers. Further reinforcing their commitment to local economies, the hotel prioritizes sourcing high-quality local and national raw materials, supporting small businesses whenever possible. The hotel’s kitchen exemplifies this practice, with all fresh meat and the majority of the seafood sourced from reputable Irish suppliers. The hotel encourages input on how to enhance their 'green' credentials, reflecting an ongoing commitment to environmental improvement.
