Hotels going green

IF YOUR idea of sustainability in hotels is still limited to reusing your towels or replacing plastic straws with biodegradable ones, well, it goes a lot further than that.

What may not be so well-known is that Singapore hotels have been upping their game when it comes to energy conservation, food waste reduction and more, as they leverage technology, design and other infrastructural changes in their efforts to go green.

In Friday’s edition of BT Lifestyle, we look at how hotels such as Pan Pacific Orchard and the newly refurbished Grand Hyatt have incorporated sustainability into their DNA to improve operational efficiency while catering to a growing breed of eco-conscious travellers.

And in Dining, we head to sushi stalwart Aoki’s new premises, which is smaller than before but still offers the same value-for-money Japanese meals that it’s known for.

For all this and more, don’t miss this Friday’s issue of BT.
