As we embark on Earth month, we want to showcase some of the amazing companies who are making a difference and setting the bar for sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
Just as Limelight Denver mixes the mountain vibe of Aspen One properties with the sophistication of the Mile High City, it also encapsulates the brand’s fundamental value to fight climate change. When staying at a Limelight property, guests become part of a movement to improve the world.
Below are highlights of sustainability efforts at Limelight Denver Hotel (LLD). Complete information can be found here.
Waste Reduction and Diversion:
All Limelight Hotels partner with ReCork, which recycles wine corks from the restaurants into shoe soles.
All hard-to-recycle materials - such as batteries, light bulbs, and electronics - are given to Limelight’s engineering teams to reuse, recycle, or dispose of properly.
Replaced plastic laundry and dry cleaning bags in guest rooms with reusable garment bags.
Energy and Water Conservation:
LLD uses a building automation system to manage and minimize energy usage throughout the property.
Linen conservation program encourages guests to reuse their sheets and towels to conserve water and energy. As part of its “opt out of housekeeping” program, LLD has had over 400 opt outs for daily housekeeping this year - that’s more than 4,000 gallons of water saved!.
All guests and employees are encouraged to utilize the A-Line train from Denver International Airport or the RTD bus and rail services as transportation to help limit emissions. Once on property, guests are encouraged to walk, bike, or scooter around town.
LLD has a Tesla available for transporting guests via electric car and charging stations are available to guests.
Community Engagement:
Climate Change Advocacy: beginning this summer, LLD guests will have the opportunity to write postcards to politicians urging them to pass climate change legislation.
Hotels donate used linens, towels, and other materials in good condition to various nonprofits and shelters.
Other:
LLD and Citizen Rail source food locally as much as possible, and seek out suppliers with sustainable practices.
Guest room keys are made from wood, instead of plastic.
