Preserving Our Planet

Sustainable Hotel in Washington DC

Eco-friendly is part of who we are

At Kimpton George Hotel, we have the environment in mind. We are proud to do our part to care for our environment and reduce our carbon footprint, and yours, as a green hotel in Washington DC. From recycled materials to high efficiency cooling systems and a preference for clean-air vehicles, we’ve made sustainability a priority. Let’s take a peek into the green practices at our environmentally friendly hotel.

Let’s take a peek into the green practices at Kimpton George Hotel.

Bar Soap

Clean The World

Thanks to our partnership with Clean the World, unused portions of our bar soaps don’t get tossed into the trash. Instead, Clean the World recycles them to provide hygiene kits for impoverished communities worldwide, as well as areas recovering from natural disasters. Learn More.

Coffee Cup

Nespresso Nirvana

Our in-room Nespresso machines make java lovers rejoice. Not only do you get the perfect individual serving of coffee, saving water and waste, but our hotel also participates in the Nespresso capsule recycling program.

Guest room with lamps

Efficiency Shines

All light fixtures in our guestrooms, corridors and public spaces use energy-efficient LED bulbs.

Fan

Smart Air

Guestroom HVAC units are motion-activated, which limits unnecessary energy expenditure.

Atelier Bloem Products

Better by Volume

Every bathroom uses large, refillable shampoo, conditioner and shower gel amenities by Atelier Bloem, eliminating the disposal of small plastic bottles.

Plant in Hands

Recycling and Composting

At Kimpton George Hotel, guess what happens to all the paper, plastics, glass, cardboard, crates, pallets and other materials that can be recycled or composted? They get recycled or composted. Not sent to the landfill.

Farm

Farm Fresh

We source nearby farms and other food purveyors to reduce the carbon emissions of long-haul travel and to support our local economy. The bonus to you, our guest, is incredibly fresh cuisine.

Washington Monument

Local Souvenirs

An onsite Bodega sources merchandise from nearby vendors for the same reason — to reduce carbon emissions and support local businesses.

George Hotel Bathroom

Go with the Flow

Even our toilets are in the sustainability game. We’ve installed low-flow, low-flush commodes to conserve water.

If you’re serious about protecting the earth, know that you have a kindred spirit in Kimpton Hotels — and Kimpton George Hotel in particular. Come for a visit. We’ll make sure you have a sustainable stay to remember.
