Novotel & ibis Sydney Darling Harbour Dusk Shot

Embracing Sustainability

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Sydney, Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour isn't just a premier destination for travellers; it's a trailblazer in environmental sustainability. Our hotel is dedicated to implementing sustainable practices in the hospitality industry, ensuring that every guest experience is not only luxurious but also environmentally responsible.

A Stand Against Single-Use Plastics
In an era where environmental consciousness is paramount, Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour has taken a decisive stand against single-use plastics. We've completely phased out plastic-wrapped dental kits, combs, and other disposable amenities. This initiative is a cornerstone of our commitment to environmental sustainability practices in hotels, significantly reducing our plastic footprint and setting a new standard for eco-friendly hotel operations.

Revolutionising the Minibar Experience
Innovating beyond traditional hotel offerings, we've reimagined the minibar experience. To combat waste, all minibar items have been removed from our rooms. Instead, guests are invited to explore our "Zest Cellar" on Level 1, where they can select from a range of fresh, on-demand items. This approach not only reduces waste but also enhances the guest experience with a personalised touch, embodying the essence of green practices in the hotel industry.

Eco-Friendly Amenities for a Sustainable Stay
Embracing green hospitality solutions, Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour offers luxurious, eco-friendly amenities. Our rooms are equipped with refillable pump bottles of high-quality shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. This initiative not only cuts down on plastic waste but also adds an element of sustainable luxury to our guest rooms, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally sustainable practices in hotels.

Sustainable Dining and Local Partnerships
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our dining experiences. We prioritise locally-sourced ingredients and collaborate with suppliers who share our vision for sustainability. This not only supports local businesses but also reduces our carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable hospitality industry.

From LED lighting to water-saving fixtures, every aspect of our hotel is designed with sustainability in mind. Our waste reduction initiatives are a testament to our commitment to green practices in hotel housekeeping and operations.
