Our Story “I wanted to capture the beauty of nature in a hotel and commit to safeguarding it as best I can, a responsibility that I believe we all share. It's 1 world. But 1 is more than a hotel - it's a philosophy and a platform for change.” -Barry Sternlicht - Chairman, Starwood Capital Group A Platform For Change Leading hospitality forward 1 Vision. The future of the world and the future of hospitality are one in the same. 1 Hotels aspires to be a platform to spark conversations, between innovators and guests, that transform the industry and our lives. Our Sustainability Keystones The foundation on which we base all our design, construction and operational decisions. Environmental Impact Energy binds everything and everyone, but we also need it to keep the lights on. We have implemented a wide range of energy, WATER, and environmental design strategies to keep our footprint small. Advocacy, Education & Engagement We look to spark conversations about the environment and our role in protecting it. We do this through organized volunteer activities and paid volunteer days for our teams, advocacy and educational initiatives like our partnerships with organizations such as the NRDC. Human Health & Wellbeing From air and water filtration systems, to biophilic design principles and the use of natural materials throughout our spaces, we place health and wellness at the center of design, construction, facilities and operational decisions. Resiliency & Ongoing Performance Improvement We are a platform for change. Sometimes this requires us to put our neck out a little further and try something new, and we encourage our guests to be a part of this change too. Through initiatives like our plastic reduction program and electric car activations, we continue to find ways to evolve. Food & Beverage Responsibility We believe that all food should be good, clean and fair; delicious and nutritious food is a right; natural resources should be protected for future generations; people and the environment depend on one another; and the dignity of labor from field to fork should be fought for. Hang in There, It's a Good One Our hangers are made from 100% post consumer recycled materials. They're full of stories, too. Nothing Is Ever Really Lost Our hotels are full of dozens of reclaimed materials that have withstood the test of time and keep on giving. Out With Plastic, In With The Wood Our room keys come in 5 different types of recycled wood. Mindful Moments Are Everywhere The shower timers in our rooms are a gentle reminder that just a few minutes saved can add up to make a big difference. The Market, Right Here At 1 Find deliciously ripe, just-picked seasonal fruits and vegetables at our lobby farm stand. Straight from regional farms, direct to you. Portable OMMM All our guest rooms have yoga mats, available for your use in or outside of the hotel. Green Feels Good Our hotels are home to thousands of different plants. Dogs (And Cats) Are Family Too We would never ask you to leave your furry (or not furry) friend behind! Write On In an effort to be paper-smart, you'll find a reclaimed chalkboard in your room for notes & doodles. Naturally Fresh Every room features custom 1 Hotels bath products in large refillable bottles. With fresh scents of nature, they're 100% natural (no parabens, silicone, or synthetic colors) and never tested on animals. Rock On We've swapped the usual plastic privacy sign with a little touch of nature to let us know when you're ready. Back to the Tap We provide clean, filtered water along with recycled glass carafes and glasses to encourage guests to refill and drink up. 1 Less Thing Every year during the holidays, we invite guests to leave gently used clothing items behind, and we donate them to a local charity to give them a second life. Mind & Movement We understand the importance of taking care of your mind, body, and spirit. Our hotels have teamed up with premiere training services to create state-of-the-art gyms and provide fitness classes and personal training. Seedlings Our Seedlings Basecamps and programs nurture nature's next great explorers with experiences that are healthy, active, educational, and fun. Full Moon With the full moon comes the changing of the tides, cosmos, and energy. To respect the rise of each full moon, we host a celebration at every hotel. Dark Sky One night every month, we turn the lights down low for a candlelit evening in the lobby, raising awareness of global brightening.
