Stayin' Green: Loews Hotels in Orlando Go Green
Just in time for Earth Day and HotelChatter's unofficial Green Hotels Week, the The Loews Hotels at Universal Orlando Resort have become certified members of the Florida Green Lodging program.
Aside from having green ogres and monsters on hand, the Loews Hotels (Loews Portofino Bay, the Hard Rock Hotel and the Loews Royal Pacific Resort) have formed "green teams" at their hotels. These teams are staffed by employees and help implement green practices that encourages both the guests and the hotel employees to be more "environmentally responsible."
Guests in all 2,400 on-site hotel rooms now have the opportunity to recycle plastic bottles, newspapers, aluminum cans and office paper.
In addition, a hotel campus-wide energy management system, programmable thermostats and high efficiency lighting help to conserve energy in all guest rooms and in more than 130,000 square feet of meeting space.
The hotels’ Energy Star-rated appliances, low flow plumbing fixtures and a linen and terry re-use program help to conserve water and waste is reduced by recycling and purchasing items in bulk.
Way to go green Loews! Now, did you know how much we heart in-room recycling containers or was that just a coincidence?
