Leading Green

Expand your horizons without expanding your carbon footprint.

The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd. (LHW) is the first luxury brand to, not only provide consumers the option of having a carbon-neutral travel experience, but also to make the financial contribution on their behalf to offset their energy consumption.

LHW is delighted to make the financial commitment to Sustainable Travel International (STI), the non-profit leader in sustainable tourism, to offset the environmental impacts of our guests’ overnight stays (i.e. the use of electricity in room and in common areas) while staying at any one of our hotels.

Although this is not the best solution for addressing climate change, it is our first endeavor to help reduce unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.

Leading the Way to a Carbon-Neutral Stay

Leading the Way to a Carbon-Neutral Stay



The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd. (LHW) is delighted to make the financial commitment to STI to offset our guest's energy consumption while staying at any one of our hotels. Although this is not the best solution for addressing climate change, it is our first endeavor to help reduce unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration calculates that the average building uses 29.3 kilowatt-hours of electricity per square foot per year. Based on this number STI has computed the total amount of pounds of greenhouse gas emissions emitted per room night including the average common area spaces.

The Leading Hotels is also offering our guests the opportunity to voluntarily donate the computed amount necessary to offset their waste, water, transportation or all carbon emissions.
