Vancouver is an extra green city, it’s fitting that the Pacific Palisades was an extra green Kimpton Hotel.  In fact, the Hotel Association of Canada gave it a 4 Green Key ECOmmodation rating for its commitment to protecting the environment.

Kimpton strives for environmentally-friendly options in all of their hotels.  Here are some of Kimpton EarthCare’s efforts:
- Cleaning Supplies: All rooms cleaned with environmentally-friendly cleaning products.
- Soy Inks: All corporate collateral is printed on recycled paper using soy based ink.
- Recycled Paper: Property-wide printing on recycled paper.
- Organic Beverages: All complimentary lobby coffee is organic, shade grown and/or fair trade.
- Towel/Linen Reuse: Guests have the opportunity to do their part to reduce energy and detergents required for daily washings.
- Recycling: Back of house recycling programs address glass, bottles, paper, cardboard, etc.
Energy Conservation: Back of house lighting is retrofitted and audited to ensure energy efficient bulbs are in place.
- Water Conservation: Implementation and auditing of low flow systems for faucets, toilets, and showers.
- Best Practices: At any hotel you may find environmental activities such as recycling of coat hangers, elimination of Styrofoam cups, paperless check-ins/outs, organic flowers, and more.
- In-room designer recycling bins: Guests are encouraged to participate in reducing our environmental impact.
- Honor bar with organic food and beverage options: Honor bars include organic snacks and beverages.
- Donation programs: Instead of being thrown away, unused amenity bottles are donated and used by local charities.

Kimpton Hotels support a sustainable world by using non-intrusive, high quality, eco-frendly products and services at all Kimpton hotels.
