Environment


The Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites is committed to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment in which we live and work. The following are some of the environmental practices that we have incorporated into our everyday work life.

  • Low energy lighting is used throughout the hotel
  • The pool water is heated by recycling warm air from the pool area
  • We use clean burning natural gas
  • All organic kitchen waste is recycled and composted by a local waste management company for community projects
  • Our housekeeping department uses non-toxic biodegradable products
  • For multiple night stays, we replace bathroom toiletries only as needed
  • We donate many items to charitable organizations such as left over guest amenities
  • Vista 18 uses electronic "smart candles" on tables which eliminates butane fuel cells from going into the landfill
  • To conserve energy and water, bed linen is changed every second day for stay-over guests and fresh towels are provided at the guest’s request
  • We focus our menu on organic, local products and have planted our own garden to provide us with fresh herbs
  • We have installed window film in Vista 18 to minimize heating and cooling loads
  • We use remanufactured printer cartridges
  • We provide our guests with a bike-lock up room, walking maps and information on public transit
  • Metal coat hangers are recycled
  • The water in our courtyard fountain is recycled
  • We recycle all of the following:

  • White and coloured office paper
    Newspapers
    Magazines
    Pop and beer cans
    Clear, green and brown glass containers
    Cardboard and plastics
    Aluminum tin containers

We encourage our guest to join us in creating a better environment by placing all products that can be recycled in the blue 'We Recycle' basket in their room, turning off the lights and television and turning down the air conditioning unit when leaving the room.
