Hilton News | Sustainable Travel Bucket List: 10 of the Best Eco-conscious Hiltons Around the World | #1 Conrad Washington DC
/
Located in downtown Washington, D.C., Conrad Washington DC is a contemporary urban oasis that embeds sustainability into the heart of its hotel operations. In an effort to reduce the burden on the city’s stormwater infrastructure and improve water quality, the hotel features an onsite stormwater management system where it is able to capture 97 percent of rainfall and use it to irrigate the hotel’s outdoor terraces and to cool its air conditioning towers. From a food and beverage perspective, in addition to integrating food waste training into the hotel’s kitchen operations, the hotel has launched a new rooftop concept at Summit the Rooftop at Conrad, which features a subtly progressive vibe, driven by an eco-friendly and socially conscious approach to food and drink. The new concept places an emphasis on supporting community partners through local sourcing throughout the mid-Atlantic region along with support of local and regional distillers and brewers and female winemakers. In addition to cooking select menu items in a solar oven, guests staying at the property can indulge in cocktails with garnishes from the rooftop garden in partnership with the Up Top Acres urban farming group.
