1 Hotels
1 Hotels stands as a beacon of sustainable luxury, harmonizing opulent comfort with an unwavering commitment to the environment. With "Nature as their true north," 1 Hotels has meticulously designed spaces that preserve and celebrate the setting's natural environment and culture.
Their impressive portfolio spans across vibrant cities and serene retreats, including locations in Brooklyn, Central Park, West Hollywood, Nashville, and internationally in Copenhagen and Melbourne, among others. Each hotel tells a unique story of sustainability: in Brooklyn, reclaimed wood from the old Domino Sugar Factory has been repurposed into furniture while the Central Park location boasts a living wall of 36,000 ivy plants to enhance urban air quality.
1 Hotels' commitment to sustainability is evident in their operational practices. They boast LEED certifications, have offset over 19,171 tons of CO2, and donated more than half a million dollars to environmental causes. Their focus spans three pillars: Environment, People & Equity, and Prosperity, ensuring a comprehensive approach to sustainability.
Their culinary philosophy, "Flavors That Sustain," revolves around sourcing local, seasonal, and fresh ingredients, supporting local farming, and nurturing healthy living. They've also set ambitious goals like achieving a 90% waste diversion from landfills and incinerators across all properties within two years.
Beyond their operational philosophy, the hotels are a trove of sustainable design details: reclaimed barn wood and repurposed materials from the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, hardwood salvaged from boardwalks and pool decks in South Beach, and in Toronto, over 1,000 pieces of unique furnishings crafted from fallen local trees.
1 Hotels not only redefines luxury hospitality with their environmental stewardship but also offers a sanctuary where guests can indulge in comfort while supporting a noble cause. Each stay is an experience, a step towards a greener future, and a testament to the possibility of luxury without compromise.
