Committed luxury at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth

Where luxury is sustainable

At Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, sustainable practices are built into every experience. From thoughtfully designed rooms to responsible dining and water-saving initiatives, each detail balances comfort with care for the planet.

Hospitality with Purpose

A wide range of initiatives bring sustainability to life at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth. From rooms and dining to events and community partnerships, each area of the hotel has been carefully considered to reduce impact and create long-term value. These initiatives reflect an ongoing commitment to thoughtful action and measurable change.

  • Energy Efficient Stays

    Single-use plastics were eliminated in 2022, and water-saving appliances and fittings have been incorporated to reduce consumption. Sensor-based air-conditioning systems and motion-controlled electricity in key areas further optimise energy use, while energy-efficient lighting minimises environmental impact.

  • Water Management

    Sofitel Sydney Wentworth holds a NABERS Water 4-Star certification, a reflection of its commitment to conservation. Through innovative technologies, efficient fittings, and responsible purchasing practices, the hotel reduces its water footprint while maintaining exceptional comfort for every guest.

  • RESPONSIBLE DINING

    Dining at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth embraces sustainability through locally and responsibly sourced produce across all restaurants and bars. Menus highlight high-quality ingredients from ethical suppliers and include a variety of vegetarian options to cater to diverse preferences.

  • RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

    Sustainable and ethical suppliers are prioritised across all areas of the hotel, from produce in dining venues to materials used in operations and events. This commitment ensures that every partnership supports environmentally conscious and socially responsible practices.

Shaping Responsible Experiences

OPERATIONS & RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Day-to-day operations are guided by sustainable practices designed to minimise environmental impact. Energy-efficient systems are complemented by responsible resource management, including the safe disposal of electronics, batteries, and lightbulbs. These efforts ensure that essential services are delivered with accountability and care.

SUSTAINABLE EVENTS
Meetings and events reflect the same commitment to responsibility. The Banquet department leads the GAIA Sustainability Food Waste Program, introducing longer shelf-life optimisation, improved stock control, portion management, reduced plastics, and stronger supplier collaboration. A dedicated Sustainability Champion programme further embeds eco-conscious practices into Conferences & Events, encouraging innovation, ownership, and best-practice sharing among team members.

A spirit of inclusivity defines the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth experience. By fostering respect, connection, and opportunity, the hotel creates an environment where every guest and colleague feels valued.
