Swissôtel Al Ghurair - Luxury hotel - Sustainability

Connected to the iconic Al Ghurair Centre, one of the first shopping malls in Dubai, since 2018, Swissotel Al Ghurair has been welcoming guests on a journey centered on the guest’s well-being and consciously made efforts to reduce its ecological footprint. Proving to provide a great place to work and support the local community, the hotel has consistently paced ahead with its sustainability initiatives.

At Swissotel Al Ghurair, we invite guests to discover and join us in our mindful approach to Sustainability. We have tried and integrated sustainability and well-being in the guest journey through our “Vitality” corner, offering homemade jams and syrups; our a la carte menu includes homegrown vegetables, seasonal fruits, and sustainably sourced fish.

One of the projects close to our heart was implementing an in-house water filtration unit to offer our guests clean and fresh drinking water. Every day we clean, fill and seal 1800 bottles and offer fresh drinking water to our guests, considerably reducing the single-use plastic and energy, and water wastage.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the hotel, we offer sustainable programs for our colleagues with complimentary academic and physical exercise classes, “Adopt a plant” initiative follow Accor’s Planet 21 guidelines, and have a “No plastic” regulation. In addition, we believe in giving back to the local community through our healthy partnerships with Evolvin’ Women, Emirates Down Syndrome Academy, Al Jalila Foundation, and Zulekha Hospital, among many others.  Embedded in the talent and culture of the team, Sustainability remains to be a key focus among the team at Swissotel Al Ghurair”
