Going Green

Hotel Pacific has gone green in a number of ways - some visible to guests, others behind the scenes. Here are some of the ways Hotel Pacific works at:

Protecting The Environment:

• Head chef Sayeeda Khanam uses local food purveyors and local ingredients, thereby saving on "food miles" (the distance food has to travel from supplier to destination).
• All in-room linen is cleaned with hydrogen peroxide instead of harmful bleaches.   
• Using local office supply companies, for all hotel office supplies. This saves kilometers of transporting and shipping supplies, helping prevent harm to the ozone.

Saving Energy

• Compact and energy-efficient fluorescents are used throughout the property, including guest rooms.
• Every vacant guest room has the drapes closed to reduce sunlight and heat, thereby saving on air conditioning environmental effects.

Conserving Natural Resources

• All shower heads and toilets are low-flow.
• Guests have the option of conserving water by reusing their towels and bed linens.
• The hotel's recycled magazines, phone books, cardboard, cans and bottles average 1 ton per month.
• Using recycled paper for printed materials.
