Energy-efficient features such as insulated glass unit (IGU) glazing, integrated shading devices, and provisions for future district cooling help minimize environmental impact while enhancing guest comfort. Complementing these efforts, the hotel has also earned the globally recognized Green Key Certification for meeting rigorous environmental and operational standards.
