Hilton News | Sustainable Travel Bucket List: 10 of the Best Eco-conscious Hiltons Around the World #5 Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel
/The team at Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel is dedicated to providing guests with exceptional experiences that are both luxurious and sustainable. From high energy efficiency and excellent waste management, providing support for disadvantaged communities, the team’s holistic approach led to the hotel becoming the first in Rome to achieve the prestigious Green Key certification. To reduce food waste, the hotel partners with local nonprofit Equoevento to supply leftover bread to a local brewery, Birrificio Vale la Pena, which employs prisoners as part of a work-release program. The brewery uses the waste to create its own beer, which is then sold at the hotel. Elsewhere, engineers reduced water consumption by 20% over three years through a range of measures including optimizing the property’s irrigation schedule and swimming pool water consumption and redeveloping the property’s evaporative tower system.
