Innovations in Sustainable Hospitality

This initiative also promotes carbon budgeting for events and utilizes features such as LED lighting and advanced temperature control in meeting spaces to reduce carbon footprint.
A Symbol of Excellence in Environmental Responsibility
The Green Tourism award is more than a certification; it’s a symbol of MHR’s deep-rooted commitment to environmental and social responsibility. This includes a focus on energy efficiency, waste reduction, and comprehensive CSR initiatives that encompass staff wellbeing and community engagement.
