LED LIGHTING

The hotel has undertaken a significant sustainability initiative by transitioning 90% of its lighting to energy-efficient LED technology. This strategic move aims to markedly reduce electricity consumption, aligning with the hotel’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

TOWELS

By reusing towels, you contribute to saving thousands of gallons of water and minimizing the use of detergents. Kindly leave your towels on the rack if you intend to reuse them; otherwise, we’ll gladly provide you with fresh replacements.

BED LINENS

Your bed linens are typically replaced every third day of your stay, but you are welcome to request a change at any time that suits you.

RECYCLING

Thank you for placing your glass, PET bottles, or aluminium cans on the desk for us to recycle. A paper recycling bin is located on meeting room floor.

WASTE MANAGEMENT AND REDUCTION

We enforce waste sorting and recycling initiatives encompassing paper, glass, PET, used oil, food waste, batteries, among others. Our printed materials are crafted using FSC-certified paper, emphasizing our commitment to sustainable practices.

Sustainable Meeting and Events Centre

Our Meetings and Events Team is proud to support IHG’s sustainability initiatives, ensuring that every gathering is both memorable and environmentally conscious. To cut down on single-use plastics, we’ve installed water filter taps (both still and sparkling) in the mezzanine breakout areas and water coolers in meeting rooms, providing convenient access to refreshing hydration without the need for disposable bottles. In our commitment to waste reduction, pens and notepads are available upon request to minimise unnecessary usage.

At the hotel reception, digital screens offer real-time information, reducing paper waste. Our shift to digital brochures further lowers our ecological footprint. At Crowne Plaza Newcastle, we are dedicated to hosting impactful events that align with IHG’s sustainability goals, ensuring a positive impact on both your experience and the environment
