Dry Amenities


In 2023, we made a pledge to eliminate single-use plastics from our hotel. This entailed a comprehensive assessment of our amenities and the implementation of sustainable alternatives, taking a bold step towards a plastic-free environment. Continuing this initiative, we've made substantial strides towards establishing a plastic-free environment by ceasing the use of single-use dry amenities, we've eliminated items such as toothbrushes, combs, shower caps, Slippers from the room significantly reducing our environmental impact. Instead, guests can conveniently request dry amenities through room service or by reaching out to our hospitable team at reception.

Large Amenities

Continuing our commitment to sustainability, we've made a proactive choice to transition to large-format amenities in our hotel. This means replacing our single-use plastic common amenities with eco-friendly pump dispensers. Our Appelles amenities are now available in convenient, eco-friendly pump dispensers, offering our guests the luxurious experience they expect while reducing environmental impact. By eliminating single-use plastic bottles, we're significantly decreasing waste in our operations. This decision reflects our dedication to environmental stewardship and our ongoing efforts to enhance sustainability throughout our hotel, while continuing to deliver the utmost in luxury and comfort.
