Protecting Our 1 World
Building with Purpose
Much like our mission, the 1 Hotels building methodology is all-encompassing. In fact, our intention begins far before we ever break ground—from the moment we choose to take root in destinations that reinforce our values.

Crafted with Care
Every good we use, from ingredients to building materials, has a story. We choose stories that are ethical, meaningful, and responsible. We strive to source products that are healthy for people and the planet, and we honor the dignity of labor throughout our supply chain by prioritizing: • Locally-sourced and seasonal ingredients • Native and reclaimed materials • Protection for natural resources • In-room and back-of-house waste sorting and diversion • Reusable and recyclable consumer goods
Rooted in Local Flavor
Our renowned chefs curate culinary masterpieces, respecting local culture and honoring the natural world through: • Energy-efficient certified kitchen equipment • Natural fuel cooking • On-site composting • On-site organic gardens • Locally sourced core menu items • Zero-waste cocktails, dinners, and events • Elimination of all single-use plastic
JOIN OUR MISSION
Our cause-driven loyalty program, MISSION, not only aims to fight the climate crisis but strives to deepen your connection with the natural world—the heart of our purpose at 1 Hotels. As a MISSION member, every time you escape to our sanctuaries, you cultivate exclusive rewards that allow you to offset the climate impact of your stay.
NATURE AS ART
Blur the lines between outside and inside in our sanctuaries. Our biophilic living wall is designed to connect you with the living natural world while fostering happiness and fulfillment. Featuring live plants such as cacti, succulents, and orchids, the preserved plants maintain their vibrant charm for years, minimizing waste and providing additional thermal and acoustic insulation, resulting in energy savings.
Biophilic Design
Whether it’s a sculptural moss wall, reclaimed oak dining table, beaming skylight window, or sweeping green canopy—we use the language of biophilic design to continuously reassure you that nature has the power to guide you, and it’s okay to step back and lean into it.
Mindful Moments
Small Details Lead to Big Change
Thoughtfulness lies in every corner. Welcome to a world where sustainability and natural comforts exist in harmony.
1 Less Thing
We invite guests to leave gently used clothing items behind, and we donate them to a local charity to give them a second life.
Out With Plastic, In With The Wood
Our room keys come in 5 different types of recycled wood.
Mindful Moments Are Everywhere
The shower timers in our rooms are a gentle reminder that just a few minutes saved can add up to make a big difference.
Back to the Tap
We provide clean, filtered water along with recycled glass carafes and glasses to encourage guests to refill and drink up.
Hang in There, It's a Good One
Our hangers are made from 100% post consumer recycled materials. They're full of stories, too.
Write On
In an effort to be paper-smart, you'll find a reclaimed chalkboard in your room for notes & doodles.
The Market, Right Here At 1
Find deliciously ripe, just-picked seasonal fruits and vegetables at our lobby farm stand. Straight from regional farms, direct to you.
GREEN FEELS GOOD
Our hotels are home to thousands of different plants.
Naturally Fresh
Every room features custom 1 Hotels bath products in collaboration with Bamford, made with the highest quality organic ingredients and infused with the brand's signature blend of geranium, lavender, peppermint, and tonka to cleanse and refresh both body and mind.
ROCK ON
We've swapped the usual plastic privacy sign with a little touch of nature to let us know when you're ready.
TRAVEL WITH CARE
We’re pleased to introduce the official electric vehicle of 1 Hotels, the fully electric Audi Q8 e-tron. Guests are welcome to enjoy the Audi Experience to sustainably be whisked around the local area and even test drive it at a time that works for you.
