The main tenets of this report include creative sustainability, wellbeing, community, food, escapes and emerging destinations.Conscious luxuryThe momentum created behind conscious travel in 2019 is unprecedented and proved that behaviour can change quickly for the better. As a global company, SLH will be launching a Sustainability Manifesto in 2020 laying out commitments for SLH as a business as well as guidance for our member hotels. In the meantime, we take inspiration from some of our hotels who have gone above and beyond to pave the way and create a place where guests can truly relax, find tranquility and travel in a mindful way.
Bio-architecture
SLH hotels are renowned for their connection to their destination and immersion in the landscape. Examples of bioarchitecture can be seen across the collection as hotels seek alternative solutions to building techniques that can cause environmental damage via impact, waste and pollution.
The Racha in Phuket blends in with the existing terrain of the land, incorporating building materials that were selected not to cut through the land or boulders and minimize the number of trees that needed to be cut down. Many of the villas have trees coming through the terraces and for each tree that was lost on property, two have been planted in its place.
The walls at The Sukhothai Shanghai are made from clay which is highly effective in air purification, humidity regulation and sound absorption, vital for optimal health and brain function.
New to SLH, Gangtey Lodge in Bhutan, one of only two carbon-negative countries in the world, has been designed to have minimal impact on the surrounding landscape. Local, recycled and eco-friendly materials were used in construction and the building designed for maximum energy efficiency
