At the Stanley Hotel, sustainability is an integral part of how we operate and who we are. Located in the historic coastal village of Stanley, Tasmania, we are committed to responsible hospitality that respects our environment, supports our local community, and preserves the natural and cultural heritage of the region.
Our approach to sustainability is practical, ongoing, and grounded in everyday actions that reduce our environmental footprint while continuing to provide genuine, high-quality guest experiences.
We are committed to reducing waste through responsible waste management practices, including:
Our restaurant focuses on locally sourced, seasonal produce, reducing food miles and supporting Tasmanian farmers and fishers. Much of our seafood and produce travels only short distances, ensuring freshness while lowering transport emissions.
To lessen our environmental footprint, we have removed paper hand towels from public restrooms and introduced energy-efficient cool air hand dryers. Plastic straws are not used, and guest amenities such as soaps are paper wrapped rather than plastic packaged.
Sustainability at the Stanley Hotel also means preserving what already exists. We are committed to maintaining heritage buildings, planting, and caring for gardens responsibly, and supporting local ecosystems and wildlife habitats.
Where possible, we encourage guests to be part of our sustainability journey through simple, mindful practices during their stay. We regularly review and improve our sustainability initiatives, adapting where possible to meet environmental challenges and future needs.
As custodians of this land and a historic hotel at the heart of Stanley, we recognise the responsibility we carry. The Stanley Hotel is committed to sustainable hospitality protecting our environment, supporting our community, and ensuring this special place can be enjoyed for generations to come.
