Building A Better World
We’re not just dreaming of a better world, we’re helping to build it. By keeping the bigger picture in mind, we take responsibility for our impact on the planet, support the communities around us and always push ourselves to do better. From thoughtful sustainability initiatives to meaningful local partnerships, we’re committed to creating a positive impact while maintaining the exceptional five-star experience that defines every stay at art’otel London Hoxton.
Our Hotel
- We use 100% renewable electricity across all our hotels through Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) in the UK and Guarantees of Origin (GoOs) in the rest of Europe.
- We have achieved BREEAM Excellent certifications, and was shortlisted for the 2025 BREEAM Awards in the People’s Choice category, proof of the commitment to sustainability that has gone into the construction of the building.
-
The building’s exterior is designed to provide natural shade, helping to reduce heat gain and lower the energy needed to keep the hotel cool.
Our Suppliers
We believe meaningful sustainability starts with choosing the right partners. By building relationships with suppliers who share our values, we can create a more positive impact on our communities while reducing our environmental footprint. All suppliers are asked to support our sustainability goals through a sustainability declaration, helping to ensure transparency and accountability across our supply chain.
We regularly assess our suppliers’ climate-related risks and carbon emissions, work closely with our restaurant partners to source fish responsibly, and collaborate with key service providers, including our London laundry partner, to reduce energy and water consumption.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- Our lighting is 100% energy‑efficient LED, significantly reducing energy consumption.
- Our Ecological Programme allows guests to opt out of housekeeping services in return for a £/€1 donation per night to the charity Just a Drop and a range of rewards for the guests. For this programme, in 2025 PPHE and Just a Drop won the Charity Partnership in the Sport, Travel, and Leisure Sector Award.
- Toiletries are offered in refillable dispensers rather than single‑use plastic, cutting down on unnecessary waste.
- Meetings held at art’otel are all 100% carbon compensated.
Community & Collaborations
We are committed to supporting East London’s vibrant creative community through our public gallery and auditorium spaces, providing a platform for local artists, cultural events and creative collaboration.
This commitment extends to partnerships with sustainability-focused creatives such as VIN + OMI, who transform hotel waste and recycled materials into innovative fashion, art and community projects, helping to promote more circular and sustainable creative practices.
