Sustainability at Hotel Indigo Stratford upon Avon
At Hotel Indigo Stratford upon Avon, we’re deeply committed to preserving the charm and character of our historic town – not just for today, but for generations to come. Inspired by our local heritage and the natural beauty of Warwickshire, we’re on a journey toward a more sustainable future.
Our Commitment
We are actively working toward becoming a more environmentally responsible hotel. From reducing our carbon footprint to supporting local producers, our sustainability efforts are woven into every aspect of our guest experience.
“For, being green, there is great hope…”

How We’re Making a Difference
Green Stays
We encourage guests to join our Green Stay initiative – opting out of daily housekeeping to help conserve water, energy, and reduce chemical use.
Farm to Fork
We proudly source ingredients from local farms and producers, ensuring our menus reflect the best of the region while reducing food miles. Our seasonal dishes celebrate the richness of Warwickshire’s agricultural heritage.
Nose-to-Tail Dining
Our kitchen embraces a nose-to-tail philosophy, minimising food waste by using every part of the animal in creative and delicious ways. It’s sustainable, respectful, and absolutely flavourful.
Eliminating Single-Use Plastics
We’ve removed single-use plastics from guest rooms and public areas wherever possible. From refillable bathroom amenities to compostable straws, we’re making conscious choices every day.
Community Commitment
We believe in giving back. Whether it’s partnering with local schools, supporting town clean-up days, or hosting community events, we’re proud to be part of Stratford-upon-Avon’s vibrant community.
Eco-Friendly Amenities
Our rooms feature energy-efficient lighting, smart climate control, and eco-certified toiletries.
“Sustainability is no longer about doing less harm. It’s about doing more good.”

Looking Ahead
Sustainability is a journey, not a destination, and we’re proud to be taking our next big step. Hotel Indigo Stratford upon Avon is currently working toward achieving Green Key accreditation, a globally recognised eco-label for excellence in environmental responsibility and sustainable operations in the hospitality industry.
Our newly formed Green Team is leading the charge, using the Green Key framework to set clear goals and track our progress. An action plan is already in place, helping us build on the strong foundation of eco-conscious practices we’ve already established.
As General Manager Pash Naidoo puts it: “This is about more than just meeting standards; it’s about creating a culture of sustainability that our team and guests can be proud of.”
We invite our guests to be part of this journey – whether it’s by reusing towels, recycling, or exploring Stratford upon Avon through eco-friendly travel options. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
