Rosedale Hotel & Suites Beijing, under the management of Rosedale Hotel Group, has been recently recognized as a Gold Leaf Grade "China Green Hotel" by the China Tourist Hotel Star-Rating Committee.

The hotel has submitted an application in hope of becoming the first batch of green-certified hotels. Experts, hospitality professionals and government officials were invited to review and assess Rosedale Hotel & Suites Beijing prior to the recognition. The activity is designed by the China National Tourism Administration to implement the three concepts of "Green Olympics", "Hi-tech Olympics" and "People's Olympics" and to realize the theme of "New Beijing, Great Olympics".

A "Green Hotel" must be energy-efficient and environmental-friendly. It has to put priorities on energy and resources saving, food safety and hygiene etc. in order to meet the standard of the regulations. The measures include the reduction in resources by replenishing one-off amenities like toothbrush, comb and soap etc. as well as changing bed linen and towel at the demand of guests. For the food safety, all materials, ingredients and seasonings must be purchased from certified suppliers to ensure the high quality of the food.

The aim of the activity is to enhance the awareness for environmental protection and to incorporate the concept of sustainable development to protect the environment, conserve resources and maintain the ecological balance.

In Beijing, there are 143 qualified hotels participating in the activity. After the assessment, 81 hotels including Rosedale Hotel & Suites Beijing were recognized as Gold Leaf Grade "China Green Hotel" while 62 hotels were recognized as Silver Leaf Grade “China Green Hotel”.

"Perpetuating the legacy of lodging and service excellence, every staff from Rosedale Hotel & Suites Beijing aims to offer Consistent Comfort and Care to every guest. The commitment and personal dedication by every staff might be the key to obtain the recognition as a Green Hotel." said Mr. Ivan Wan, General Manager of Rosedale Hotel & Suites Beijing.
