At Kimpton Hotel Van Zandt, we have the environment in mind. We are proud to do our part to care for our environment and reduce our carbon footprint, and yours, as a green hotel in Austin. From recycled materials to high efficiency cooling systems and a preference for clean-air vehicles, we’ve made sustainability a priority.
Let’s take a peek into the green practices at our environmentally friendly hotel.
Thanks to our partnership with Clean the World, unused portions of our bar soaps don’t get tossed into the trash. Instead, Clean the World recycles them to provide hygiene kits for impoverished communities worldwide, as well as areas recovering from natural disasters.
Every bathroom uses large, refillable shampoo, conditioner and shower gel amenities by Atelier Bloem, eliminating the disposal of small plastic bottles.
At Kimpton Hotel Van Zandt, guess what happens to all the paper, plastics, glass, cardboard, crates, pallets and other materials that can be recycled or composted? They get recycled or composted. Not sent to the landfill.
We source nearby farms and other food purveyors to reduce the carbon emissions of long-haul travel and to support our local economy. The bonus to you, our guest, is incredibly fresh cuisine.
Our Café 605 sources merchandise from nearby vendors for the same reason — to reduce carbon emissions and support local businesses.
Even our toilets are in the sustainability game. We’ve installed low-flow, low-flush commodes to conserve water.
