Amidst a hospitality landscape where green credentials and social engagement have evolved into hollow buzzwords, London's Inhabit Hotel is emerging as a new benchmark for genuine commitment to environmental initiatives and community partnerships. Located in the Paddington area, the 88-room property lays real claim to being a beacon of its neighborhood. A tangible London sensibility goes hand-in-hand with a year-round lineup of activities, collaborations, and events that place an emphasis on both wellness and a wider wellness for the world. Recently awarded Green Key Certification—the leading standard for excellence in the field of environmental responsibility across hotels—Inhabit Hotel continues to guide honest connections with local partners and a championing of circular economy principles. The result is a hotel that walks the walk and wears its credentials with pride.
With its recent certification, Inhabit Hotel is paying more than lip service to its environmental responsibility and has chosen to proactively take charge of its impact. Intentional actions, such as the hotel's partnership with Globechain, a marketplace focused on the redistribution of goods to social causes, has allowed Inhabit to divert hundreds of items from landfill by donating these articles for reuse to eliminate wastage. The installation of mostly showers over baths in guestrooms, and the placement of Belu water taps on each floor reduce the use of water and remove the need for unnecessary plastic. Synthetics and chemicals are also avoided throughout the property and the use of either recycled or recyclable materials throughout is priority, right down to the presence of Who Gives a Crap?—a 100% recycled toilet paper brand that donates 50% of profits to building toilets in the developing world.
