Swissôtel Al Ghurair - Luxury hotel - Sustainable Dining & Zero-Waste Practices

Vitality-driven, locally sourced, and environmentally conscious

At Swissôtel Al Ghurair, we believe that wellness and sustainability go hand-in-hand, especially when it comes to food. That’s why our culinary experiences are thoughtfully crafted with health, flavour, and the planet in mind.

Vitality menu – Fresh, local, and low-impact

Our à la carte Vitality menu is designed around sustainably sourced fish and seasonal fruits and vegetables, with recipes focused on zero food wastage.

Liwan Restaurant – Healthy choices, thoughtfully crafted

At Liwan Restaurant, guests can enjoy the Vitality Corner, a special section featuring fresh salads, nutritious nuts, and house-made jams and syrups. This corner is carefully crafted by our chefs to provide guests with healthy and delicious options using locally sourced and sustainable ingredients.

Yasmine Lounge – Supporting local coffee growers

Serving a selection of locally-sourced coffee, supporting UAE-based roasters and reducing the carbon footprint associated with imported beans—all while offering you a rich, authentic coffee experience.

The Swiss garden – Homegrown goodness

Our Swiss Garden is a living example of our commitment to urban agriculture and sustainability. Home to mint, basil, coriander, lettuce, eggplant, tomatoes, and other seasonal herbs and vegetables, this garden is tended by our hotel team and used in daily menus. Curious to explore? Simply ask our Guest Services Team for a guided visit.

Smart partnerships for food waste reduction

In partnership with Orbisk, we use smart food waste monitoring systems to track and reduce food waste in our kitchens.

Composting with The Waste Lab

We proudly collaborate with The Waste Lab to transform organic food waste into nutrient-rich compost. This initiative supports our farm-to-table-to-soil philosophy and helps us nourish the Swiss Garden with natural, chemical-free fertilisers.
