Grand Hyatt Kuwait, a luxurious oasis in the heart of the city, is not only renowned for its exceptional hospitality but also for its unwavering commitment to sustainable practices. The hotel has implemented a range of initiatives aimed at conserving resources, reducing waste, and promoting eco-friendly practices.
Use of green cleaning products
One of the cornerstones of Grand Hyatt Kuwait's sustainability efforts is its use of green cleaning products. Partnering with Diversey Middle East, the hotel exclusively utilizes eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are both effective and environmentally responsible. By choosing these certified products, the hotel ensures that its cleaning operations have minimal impact on the environment while maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene.
Reducing waste
Grand Hyatt Kuwait is dedicated to reducing waste throughout its operations. The hotel opts for reusable cleaning tools such as microfiber cloths, sponges, and mop heads, eliminating the need for disposable alternatives. This conscious choice not only minimizes waste but also contributes to cost savings in the long run.
Water conservation
The hotel implements various measures to conserve water, including promptly fixing leaks, installing low-flow faucets and showerheads, and adopting water-saving practices in its daily operations. By turning off taps while cleaning sinks, bathtubs, and shower areas, the hotel significantly reduces water consumption without compromising on quality or guest satisfaction.
Energy efficiency
Grand Hyatt Kuwait prioritizes energy efficiency to reduce its electricity consumption. The hotel has transitioned to energy-efficient appliances and lighting, with a particular emphasis on LED bulbs for their superior energy efficiency.
Green landscaping
The commitment to sustainability extends beyond the hotel's interior to its outdoor spaces as well. Grand Hyatt Kuwait maintains a sustainable garden by using native plants and practicing water-efficient landscaping techniques. It also avoids chemical pesticides and fertilizers to minimise its ecological footprint.
Recycling and proper disposal
Recycling and proper waste disposal are integral components of Grand Hyatt Kuwait's sustainability initiatives. The hotel has implemented a comprehensive recycling system to ensure that materials such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal are recycled responsibly.
Implementation of bulk bath amenities in guest rooms
We are working on removing single use plastic amenities replacing it with large amenities to reduce plastic in landfill.
Washing bed and bath linen after 3 days of check in
We wash bed linen in guest rooms after the third night of check in of guests. This reduces stress on linen, saves water, electricity , chemicals and manpower.
As a leading luxury hotel, Grand Hyatt Kuwait proves that sustainability and luxury can coexist harmoniously, inspiring others to follow suit in the pursuit of a more sustainable future.
