Keep the planet clean, and your conscience too, with a greener business stay in London.
As the serviced apartment industry has evolved, sustainability has become an integral part of day-to-day operations. Bookers, clients and guests now pursue green business models that uphold a commitment to reducing environmental impact. At Portland, we understand the need for sustainable changes without compromising on quality. From the ground up, we strive to provide eco-conscious comfort to our guests, beginning with the suppliers we partner with. From cosy linen to soft-touch loo-rolls, we’re determined to create a more sustainable future for our guests and the planet.
Our sustainable solutions start in the bedroom - yes, you read that right! We’re proud to partner with ethical textile provider, Johnsons Service Group, which has achieved impressive milestones like a 7% reduction in carbon intensity and 6% reduction in water use. Guests will find this high-quality linen covering the beds in all our serviced apartments, with no sacrifice when it comes to the comfort of a good night’s sleep.
We’re all about giving our guests the royal treatment! If you’re staying in one of our superior properties like Newson’s Yard, Oxbourne House, Fenman House, or The Westminster Residences, you’ll be sleeping in luxurious linen from TDS Commercial, a West London provider known for supplying high-quality textiles to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. Their commitment to using sustainable practices, means you can enjoy the finest comfort whilst sleeping like royalty.
What’s just as important as a good night’s sleep? Arguably, some might say a well-stocked bathroom! We’ve swapped our traditional paper toilet rolls for bamboo rolls from the beloved UK-based sustainable brand Who Gives A Crap. Like us, they prefer to preserve trees and have created a solution that helps to reduce deforestation, literally one flush at a time. Soft and strong like supermarket brands, but better for your conscience—rest assured, you’re contributing to a cleaner planet with each use.
In addition to linens and toilet rolls, we've also switched our paper welcome guides to digital versions! Now, it’s easier than ever for guests to engage in sustainability during their stay. Our dedicated section offers top tips on reducing energy consumption and minimising waste, allowing guests to actively support our green philosophy.
In a world of overconsumption, we take extra care to avoid throwing out any appliances. Thanks to our in-house maintenance team, repairs are prioritised, and we reuse any items where possible before they’re donated to local partner charities. Plus, our welcome gifts are now 100% sourced from sustainable UK-based suppliers, so you can feel good knowing your stay is helping the planet too!
