Hilton News | Sustainable Travel Bucket List: 10 of the Best Eco-conscious Hiltons Around the World #4 Hilton Garden Inn Faroe Islands
/
When guests visit the new Hilton Garden Inn on the remote Faroe Islands, it feels almost otherworldly. But what’s behind the scenes is just as impressive: The entire property was built with sustainability at its core, embracing the archipelago’s own sustainable tourism strategy. The hotel’s commitment to sustainability starts from the top: the roof is covered in grass, allowing for ultra-efficient insulation and a building that seamlessly blends into the local environment. Inside, ultra-efficient heating systems, including under-floor heating, help keep guests warm and take into account occupancy levels to avoid heating unused spaces. Motion sensors on water taps and LED lighting further prevent energy waste. The hotel is powered by renewable energy from a local power plant that captures leftover energy from a range of industries.
