Strand Palace Hotel
Nestled in the heart of London’s vibrant Strand, the historic Strand Palace Hotel has been an iconic presence in the city since 1909. Combining its rich legacy with modern comforts, the hotel exemplifies how ethical and sustainable practices can elevate guest experiences and positively impact the environment. “Sustainability is at the core of what we do, and the FuturePlus framework helps us maintain a forward-thinking approach to responsible business practices,” says the team at
Strand Palace Hotel.
Sustainability is seamlessly integrated into both the guest experience and behind-the-scenes operations at Strand Palace. Initiatives like reusable umbrellas and water bottles, alongside the “Go Green” program, inspire guests to make eco-friendly choices while reducing waste. These efforts not only contribute to environmental responsibility but also enhance guest satisfaction by making sustainability accessible and engaging.
The hotel is equally focused on operational sustainability, implementing measures such as water-saving devices in toilets, boiler efficiency audits, and the use of biodegradable and environmentally friendly cleaning products. These initiatives reflect Strand Palace’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint while maintaining the highest standards of service.
Social impact is another pillar of Strand Palace’s sustainability vision. The team actively supports local and national charities through fundraising and volunteering, creating a meaningful connection with the community and showcasing their dedication to giving back.
“Our commitment to sustainability has evolved into a holistic hotel-wide initiative and competition under the banner of FuturePlus. Launched in late 2023, this initiative sees our 13-departments organised into five teams, each tasked with completing eight projects over the next 12 months. These projects contribute to compiling evidence aimed at enhancing our FuturePlus score. Teams received prizes for each completed project, and their progress is diligently recorded on team project boards. Notably, Housekeeping and Front Office are currently leading with one successfully signed-off project.” - Strand Palace Hotel.
