easyHotel, the low-carbon affordable hotel chain, has completed the upgrade of its Liverpool hotel’s energy system to align with its strategy to be the leader in low-carbon great value hotels in Europe.
The £330,000 upgrade is part of an ongoing £6.4 million investment started in 2023 to cut the Group’s overall CO2 emissions by 25%. Out of this, £5.1 million has been invested in the UK, with the rest set aside for the brand’s owned hotels in the EU. The energy infrastructure upgrade included replacing the gas boiler with electric air source heat pumps, upgrading mechanical units, and installing solar panels to the roof.
Reducing emissions is a key focus for easyHotel, as the hotel sector contributes to around 1% of carbon emissions globally. The low-carbon hotel operator has rolled out several initiatives across its estate of owned hotels including removing single use plastic from all guest areas of the hotel and launching a new hotel design that emits 39% less CO2 over a 50-year life cycle compared to the competition.
Karim Malak, CEO of easyHotel, commented:
“The low-carbon upgrade of our Liverpool hotel is a proud achievement, highlighting our mission to combine sustainability with great value. Lower emissions lead to lower costs, allowing us to offer exceptional value while championing a greener future.”
Szymon Kozdron, Hotel Manager at easyHotel Liverpool, commented:
“We’re excited to introduce our new low-carbon initiatives at easyHotel Liverpool, which uphold our commitment to low carbon, whilst maintaining our comfortable and affordable offer for guests. We’re proud to anticipate that our energy improvements will result in a reduction of 20 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.”
Alongside Liverpool, easyHotel has concluded work on its Glasgow, Milton Keynes, Sheffield, Leeds, Birmingham, and Ipswich hotels as part of its £6.4 million low-carbon investment.
