The 14 Best New Hotels of 2021 Are All Sustainable - AFAR
"New Zealand’s greenest new hotel is part of a larger waterfront revitalization project in central Auckland some 16 years in the making. Hotel Britomart snagged the highest rating from the third-party New Zealand Green Building Council, thanks to its extraordinary efforts: Builders reused or recycled 90 percent of hotel construction waste; mixed captured or reclaimed water with the building’s carbon-intensive concrete; and constructed with bricks made of 80 percent recycled concrete. The handsome dark wood in the 99 guest rooms is reclaimed timber, plumbing is all low-flow, and neutral-hued linens are made with fair trade fabrics." - Jennifer Flowers
