At 86 per cent, Anantara Siam sets the benchmark for all other hotels across all assessments including social, cultural, environmental and operating best practice.
In the heart of one of the world’s most enigmatic capitals, Anantara Siam offers discerning travellers a luxurious retreat to enjoy life’s finer pleasures and engage in soulful, original journeys.
As ethical tourism continues to grow, certifications like this allow travellers to feel more confident that they are not only getting their money’s worth, but are also leaving behind a better chance for younger generations to enjoy the same liberties.
“Sustainability is very important to us at the hotel and throughout the brand.
“We worked hard to comply with the Green Growth standards and we are thrilled with the result of 86 per cent.
“The work doesn’t stop there, and it is important we maintain these high standards.
“We’ve already identified other areas to expand our practices, including planting more produce on our fourth floor garden, consumed in our staff canteen,” Patrick Both, general manager, said recently.
In achieving gold certification, Anantara Siam implemented a range of innovative sustainability initiatives including transitioning the hotel to glass water bottles in the rooms and related front of house areas, eliminating the use of PET plastic bottles.
The hotel also used reclaimed, treated and filtered water in its air-conditioning cooling towers, saving about 100 kilolitres of water each day.
