Green Practices


Wyndham Parc 55 Hotel San Francisco proudly participates actively in several programs dedicated to conserving environmental resources:

  • Sensitive to the environment, Wyndham Parc 55 has been nationally recognized for its prudent energy management strategies. The Hotel has earned Energy Star designations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and from the U.S. Department of Energy. Our engineering department monitors the evolving EPA standards to assure our continued compliance.
  • The Wyndham Parc 55 has a comprehensive composting and recycling program that includes all Hotel services from the kitchen to the laundry room. The majority of Wyndham Parc 55’s cleaning products are environmentally friendly, energy-saving lights have been installed throughout the Hotel, and Wyndham Parc 55 voluntarily coordinates with Pacific Gas & Electric to reduce energy usage during peak periods.
  • Wyndham Parc 55 recently replaced all of its toilets with low-flow models that exceed California’s standards for energy efficiency and reduce the hotel’s water usage by 72%.
  • Approximately 80% of our staff commute via public transportation, and the Company actively promotes both transit usage and carpooling.
  • Waste chemicals such as lubricants and cleaning substances are routinely disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
  • Bottles, cans, paper (including waste office materials, cardboard, and newspapers), batteries and fluorescent light bulbs are recycled.
  • Used computer equipment is recycled by a local company, and used toner cartridges are returned either to the vendor or the manufacturer for recycling.
  • Food waste is taken off site by a local company and composted.
  • Used cooking oil is processed for alternative fuel.
  • We offer a “Green” alternative to hotel guests, giving them the option to decline daily replacement of their bed and bath linen thereby reducing laundry volume and conserving water, electricity and cleaning chemicals.
  • Retired and remaindered linen and room amenities are donated to charities and non-profits in our community. Recently several hundred pounds of bed linens and blankets were contributed to the Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts.
  • For several years, our registration process has been “paperless” both for the convenience it affords arriving guests and the significant reduction that results in paper consumption and in records storage.
  • Throughout our current renovation, all carpeting from guestrooms and public areas will be taken offsite and recycled.
  • Onsite commercial laundry machines were recently retrofitted to save 35% of water usage by utilizing the final rinse water as the first wash water of the following load.

We earnestly welcome suggestions from our guests, our staff and our purveyors that may lead to further efforts to help conserve our limited resources.
