Best green hotels in Singapore
1. Parkroyal Collection Pickering, Singapore
Boasting incredible greenery and amazing architecture, Parkroyal Collection Pickering was built with sustainability in mind. Step inside this beautiful space with sky gardens, water features and lush greenery that not only provide a beautiful atmosphere for guests, but also help to regulate the temperature and energy consumption of the hotel.
That’s not all: Parkroyal Collection Pickering has also implemented multiple other planet-friendly initiatives. We’re talking about a filtered water dispenser in each room to eliminate the use of plastic water bottles, electric vehicle and charging stations, a food waste digester and rotary evaporator, complimentary city bikes, as well as amenities in biodegradable packaging. All these are a testament to the hotel’s commitment to promoting sustainability!
Located on the top floor of this hotel-in-a-garden is an urban farm, which features over 50 varieties of edible plants that are harvested regularly and used in the restaurant, bar and spa. More than just a photo-worthy space, it also contributes to the hotel’s eco-conscious dining program. In fact, the hotel has been recognised by the Singapore Food Agency for the procurement of local produce which further reduces its carbon footprint. Having recently earned its GSTC certification, book a stay here to experience these sustainable highlights!
