Dubai is making significant strides toward becoming one of the most sustainable cities globally. For individuals who prioritize sustainability, this commitment often extends beyond their homes and influences their choices in dining, shopping, and accommodations.
Dubai boasts a vast array of hotels, with many more in the pipeline. For those adhering to sustainable living standards, it is essential to select hotels that have received official recognition for their green initiatives.
Dubai Tourism has recognized 70 hotels across the city for their exemplary green standards. These hotels range from two to five stars, catering to various budgets and preferences, from business travelers to leisure tourists.
To qualify for this prestigious list, each hotel had to meet 19 sustainability criteria, including employee training, energy management plans, and sustainable food purchasing practices. Based on their performance, hotels were awarded bronze, silver, or gold sustainability stamps.
