HONG KONG—Cosmo Hotel Hong Kong has a newly launched green floor. All of the guestrooms located on the green floor are stocked with a range of natural in-room amenities. Cosmo Hotel Hong Kong is also one of the few certified green hotels in Hong Kong to have introduced a 100 percent indoor smoke-free policy in the entire hotel property.

Designed to accommodate the growing demand for eco-tourists visiting Hong Kong, all green rooms are equipped with a set of Tarocco skin care and hair care products, and a natural range of products rich in vitamin C and antioxidants with the presence of Italian olive oil and extracts of Sicilian blood oranges. Welcoming the guests in the room is the natural scent of Jurlique aromatherapy essential oil. There are four types of fragrances from which to choose.

Each green room of this Hong Kong boutique hotel is also made greener and healthier with a leafy houseplant embellishing the interior while handpicked organic teabags are replenished daily to ensure guests a refreshing start of the day. Guests can also choose from more than 11 types of pillows featuring natural buckwheat, wheat fiber, lavender scented, to name a few, to enjoy a good night’s sleep. The hotel’s green patio on the fifth floor features fresh fruits.

EarthCheck Certified at Bronze Level

Being an EarthCheck certified hotel, it is using energy efficient LEDs in the entire hotel property and carbon filters for the fan coil units to improve indoor air quality, while reducing the footprint of the ventilation system. “By Joining EarthCheck, we are able to accurately measure the effectiveness of each of our environmental and corporate social responsibility practices through science-based software,” said Anita Chan, the General Manager of Cosmo Hotel Hong Kong. “It enables us to contrive targeted strategies to minimize carbon footprint while maximizing guest experiences more innovatively. Hence, the introduction of our green floor.”

Cosmo Hotel has successfully attained EarthCheck Bronze Benchmarked 2014 recently and is working towards attaining Silver status for next year.

While enjoying the comfort of a green stay, guests are also encouraged to reuse towel and bed linen to help conserve energy and reduce water consumption whenever possible during their stay. To minimize carbon emissions, the hotel is providing a free shuttle bus that operates on a daily basis.

“Our green measures will not be as successful without the cooperation from our guests,” Chan said. “The introduction of the green floor is really a win-win-win approach for the guest, environment and hotel staff. Our guests get to enjoy a superior quality accommodation, the reduced carbon footprint means a cleaner environment while the hotel staff gets to work more efficiently in a smoke-free and refreshing environment. If the feedback from our guests is encouraging, we will definitely consider converting more guest floors into green floors to benefit more like-minded guests, even if that would mean incurring higher maintenance costs. Our aim is to continuously inspire one and another to love our globe and to collectively contribute to the environment and local community for the sake of a better tomorrow.”
