Sustainability

At Langton's Kilkenny, sustainability is at the heart of our values. We are proud to share some of the eco-friendly initiatives we have implemented to create a more environmentally conscious and responsible establishment. 

 

Solar Power: We are delighted to have recently introduced solar paneling across our hotel, boasting over 200 panels. This commitment to renewable energy helps us reduce our carbon footprint. 

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: In alignment with our dedication to sustainable practices, we have installed four charging stations for electric cars, encouraging the use of eco-friendly transportation, and is complementary to all our guests. 

Rooftop Herb and Flower Garden: As part of our commitment to fresh, local produce, we have added an area on our roof where we grow herbs and flowers, such as mint and rosemary. These fresh ingredients are harvested for our kitchen, ensuring a delightful and sustainable culinary experience for our guests. 

Biodiversity Support: We have invested in greenery and flower beds around the hotel to encourage biodiversity and provide a habitat for bees, playing our part in supporting the local ecosystem. 

Locally Sourced Ingredients: Our commitment to responsible purchasing extends to promoting locally sourced ingredients, from our chicken which is sourced locally in Rings Farm Kilkenny, or our fish from Atlantis in Kilmore Quay Wexford, vegetable supplier from Deegan's of Kilkenny. We accommodate vegan and dietary requirements and welcome specific requests from our guests. 

Transitioning to Sustainable Heating: We have also removed all open fire that used coal and replaced with sustainable wood pellet burner 

Eco-Friendly Toiletries and Hand Dryers: In all our washrooms, we have implemented eco-friendly toiletries and electric hand dryers, minimizing waste and energy consumption. 

Cruelty-Free and Sustainable Skincare: Enjoy our rooms adorned with cruelty-free VOYA skincare products. We use refillable dispensers to reduce single-use plastics and promote a more sustainable approach to hospitality. 

Public Transport Access: We actively encourage the use of public transport and are conveniently located within walking distance of Kilkenny's Bus and Train Stations. Should you need assistance with schedules or directions, feel free to reach out. 

Recycled Materials: All paper used in the hotel is recycled, aligning with our commitment to minimizing our environmental impact. 

Bicycle Hire: Explore the city sustainably with bicycle hire conveniently located directly opposite the hotel. 

Compostable Takeaway Items: We strive to use compostable takeaway cups, lids, and containers wherever possible, contributing to the reduction of single-use plastics. 

Tap Water Advocacy: Opting for tap water over bottled water is our norm, but for those who prefer bottled water, we ensure the responsible recycling of glass bottles. 

Recycling Practices: We diligently recycle daily information sheets, misprints, and other materials used in the hotel. 

Waste Reduction Options: Guests have the option to opt in or out of items such as coasters and stationery, allowing them to actively participate in our efforts to minimise waste. 

 

At Langton's Kilkenny, we believe that small changes can make a big difference, and we are committed to creating an eco-friendly and sustainable environment for our guests and the community.
