Green hotels for a greener world

The Fairmont Chateau in Whistler puts its money where its mouth is when it comes to being green.

The Canadian chain (53 hotels in 12 countries) leads the world on sustainable practice in the hospitality industry – while providing a top-quality luxury experience too.

Eco-gain without the pain. It teaches the guests. And it really impressed us.

This isn’t greenwash. Sustainability underpins everything the Fairmont chain does – from transport to recycling, community relations and electricity generation to the Natural Step, all held together by the company-wide Environmental Partnership Program.

prone spoke with Lynn Gervais, PR manager at the hotel. “One thing we aim at is being authentically local,” she said. “We’re Whistler. And that’s a great thing.“

Here at prone, we’re also very fond of the TYF eco-hotel in St David’s – the first organic hotel in Wales, located in Britain’s smallest city on some of its wildest, loveliest coast.

From 12-bedroom converted windmill to the largest luxury hotel chain in North America. Now all we need are the ones in between.
