Sustainability

A More Mindful Approach

At Hotel Nikko, caring for our guests goes hand in hand with caring for our surroundings. From conserving water and reducing waste to improving energy efficiency and supporting our local community, sustainable practices are part of how we operate every day.

Reducing Waste, Finding New Uses

Recycling and reuse are part of daily operations at Hotel Nikko. Paper, plastic, tin, cardboard and aluminum are recycled throughout the property, while food and kitchen waste is composted. Retired linens are donated to local organizations when possible or repurposed for use within the hotel.

Using Energy More Efficiently

Hotel Nikko continues to invest in systems designed to reduce unnecessary energy use. Occupancy-sensing thermostats, energy-efficient lighting, motion sensors and high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment help conserve energy throughout the hotel, while our rooftop cogeneration system generates electricity on site.

Connected to Our Community

Our commitment extends beyond the hotel. Hotel Nikko colleagues contribute more than 250 volunteer hours each year to local initiatives, and our longstanding support of the San Francisco SPCA helps further its work on behalf of animals throughout the community.
