As part of range of sustainability initiatives to reduce its environmental impact, Staybridge Suites Dubai Business Bay, has launched a state-of-the-art water bottling plant at its pre-opening stage, significantly reducing its environmental footprint by eliminating single-use plastic bottles.

The hotel, a leading member of IHG Hotels & Resorts' Suites collection, said this initiative not only underscores its dedication to sustainability but also sets a benchmark for eco-friendly practices in the hospitality industry throughout the city.

Complementing the water bottling plant, the hotel also introduced a cardboard recycling cage, which encourages recycling and waste reduction, aligning with global environmental goals and promoting a culture of sustainability among the whole hotel team.

While announcing its recent inclusion of People of Determination (POD) within its team, the hotel said it is aiming to foster a sustainable and inclusive environment for guests and staff alike.

Championing inclusivity, Staybridge Suites Dubai Business Bay has recently welcomed a number of People of Determination to its team. The hotel said it is dedicated to providing equal opportunities and creating an inclusive workplace where all individuals are valued and empowered to achieve incredible things.

“As a company, we are always looking for new ways to leave a lasting positive legacy. We are delighted to integrate different people into our team as every single one of them brings a new perspective that can benefit the whole hotel,” said Bruno Hivon, General Manager of Staybridge Suites Dubai Business Bay.

“Their contributions are invaluable, and their inclusion enriches our work environment, reinforcing our commitment to diversity and equality.”

Among the new team members are Charlene, a Barista, and Raza, an F&B Attendant. Their presence at the hotel showcases the management’s efforts to unlock the abilities and potential of every individual. By embracing such diversity, Staybridge Suites Dubai Business Bay is setting a powerful example in the hospitality industry.

Additionally, the hotel has adopted eco-friendly bathroom amenities, laundry bags, and non-toxic cleaning chemicals for use throughout the entire property.

These sustainable choices, including the use of biodegradable packaging wherever possible, highlight further the hotel’s ongoing efforts to minimise its environmental impact and foster a sense of ecological responsibility.
