Hotel in St. John's, Newfoundland Unlocks the Beauty of Being Green

NEWFOUNDLAND, NL--(Marketwired - Sep 11, 2013) - When it comes to going green, everyone can make a difference. But the biggest impacts are usually made by the biggest players, and the hospitality industry undoubtedly falls into that category. So when a hotel like the Fairfield Inn & Suites St. John's Newfoundland commits to lending Mother Nature a helping hand, the Green Key Eco-Rating Program is ready to recognize its efforts.

Designed to evaluate a hotel's environmental sensitivity and corporate social responsibility, the Green Key Eco-Rating Program is built upon a system of five keys. The more programs in place and successes achieved, the more keys a property earns. In the case of this hotel near YYT Airport, four keys were awarded for its diverse and extensive environmental efforts. Criteria for evaluation may include, among other things, a property's commitment to using eco-friendly products like biodegradable cleaners and Energy Star appliances, its waste-reduction plan (think in-room recycling) and its conservation program for housekeeping, which runs the gamut from linen and towel reuse to utilizing natural light while cleaning.

"We are proud of our efforts to earn this four-key certification from Green Key," said Cyril Russell, the General Manager of this family hotel in St. John's. "Both our management and our staff are committed to doing our part to protect the environment, and we look forward to intensifying our efforts in the future."

Travellers eager to support such environmentally-sound practices will enjoy some of the freshest and most comfortable accommodations in Newfoundland when they book a room or suite at the Fairfield Inn & Suites St. John's Newfoundland. Proving that going green doesn't mean deprivation or discomfort, the hotel offers its guests spacious rooms and suites with free Internet and breakfast, in-room amenities like coffee/tea service and HD televisions. And with a handful of enticing hotel offers, it's never been easier or more guilt-free to visit Newfoundland. Green, it seems, is one impressively appealing color.
