A few of our sustainability initiatives
Electric & Hybrid Fleet
Take advantage of our fleet of luxurious chauffeur-driven electric and hybrid vehicles, allowing you to relax comfortably knowing you are not damaging the environment with unnecessary emissions. Four electric vehicle charging stations are located within the hotel.
Conscious Wellbeing
Our spa partners are chosen not only for their luxurious wellbeing and beauty rituals, but also for their green and kind-to-nature ethos. We are proud to work with ila, who crafts their products by hand in the Cotswolds, the 'Queen of Green', Tata Harper, L'Atelier Green Paris, London's first-ever plant-based and breathable nail bar and Ground Wellbeing, a self-care brand devoted to sustaining our planet.
Local Suppliers & Artisans
Executive Chef Shay Cooper and our team are proud to champion regional artisans and the very best of seasonal produce sourced from around the British isles.
Bathroom Amenities
Guests of The Lanesborough enjoy luxury bathroom amenities throughout the hotel in full sized bottles which are refilled. No single use plastic toiletries are used.
The Green Guardians
The Green Guardians, a committed group of team members led by Head Concierge Simon Thomas, meet monthly to drive forward our sustainability values and roadmap internally and with our partners.
Room Linen & Towels
As a standard, we will change your bed linen every other day of your stay and guests are encouraged to reuse their towels. This action is part of our desire to protect the environment and enables significant savings in water and energy. Should you wish to have your linens and towels changed daily our housekeeping team will be delighted to do so.
House Champagne
We are proud to offer Laurent-Perrier as our house Champagne, the first Champagne House to be granted the Royal Warrant of His Majesty Charles III, in recognition of its quality and environmental responsibility.
LED Lighting
LED light bulbs are used throughout the hotel to reduce our energy consumption. Furthermore, sensors are installed in our rooms and suites, which ensure lights are not left on in unoccupied rooms.
Vegan Dishes
In an effort to produce fewer greenhouse gases, lower land and water consumption, as well as continue to provide diversity in our food and beverage offerings, The Lanesborough's dedicated culinary team have created vegan dishes which can be enjoyed throughout the hotel.
Waste Management
Our Back of House team works in close collaboration with an external company to sort our waste, with a priority to food waste whereby we contribute to circular economy of food waste. Our food waste becomes soil, which is then used to compost new crops.
Sustainable Partnerships
We actively seek out local partners with strong sustainability credentials, for example Hawkridge Distillers, who craft our Lanesborough London Dry Gin from British ingredients in their sustainable distillery.
Oetker Hotels' Sustainability Partners
All our hotels engage with and support numerous charities and sustainable communities at a local level. Beyond that, we are proud to work with and support the following partners in order to make Oetker Hotels, our industry and our planet more sustainable.
