Sustainability is the undeniable future of travel. In 2021, Palais de Chine received a Sustainable Hotel Bronze Award from the EPA. Palais de Chine is also enacting initiatives to decrease plastics use. Rooms are no longer provided with bottled water but are instead given reusable glass pitchers guests can refill at one of the hotels many fountains. Single-use toiletries are also not provided to help conserve resources. Shower products are now in large refillable bottles to reduce plastic waste. At a time when environmental protection is becoming more important than ever, Palais de Chine is doing its part.
