Hyatt Regency Amsterdam

With the hanging plants adorning the lobby and dining areas, fern-coated walls and the emerald décor, you can tell right away the emphasis this property places on being green. Apart from sourcing electrical energy from Dutch windmills, all amenities are organic, cruelty-free and sustainably sourced, the hotel’s glassware has been recycled from wine bottles, and there are even charging points for electric cars. Of special note is the hotel’s management of Christmas trees past their prime – instead of being disposed, the trees are upcycled into beer through a partnership with speciality botanical beer brewery Lowlander. Meanwhile, the hotel’s kitchen waste is repurposed into biogas and biodiesel, while its restaurants participate in Too Good to Go, a program where local residents can collect any extra food that would otherwise be discarded at the end of the day. In additional to these environmental measures, a cross-departmental team meets every month to brainstorm more sustainable initiatives.
