Prestonfield is committed to minimising the impact it has on the environment. We recognise the value of a long term approach. To the environmental mantra of reduce, reuse, recycle, at Prestonfield we have added – restore.
At Prestonfield we recognise that our activity can have an effect on the local and wider environment. We hope that by increasing our understanding of these effects, we can work together with our guests, staff and suppliers to minimise any impacts.
Set in 20 acres of stunning surroundings, in the heart of the city, we are aware of the balancing act between the desire for sustainability and the luxury that guests expect of a Five Red Star Hotel. Prestonfield has been welcoming guests since 1687, and we recognise the value of a long-term approach.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do at Prestonfield. We're proud to partner with EarthCheck, the world's leading scientific benchmarking, certification, and advisory group for travel and tourism. Their rigorous standards help us measure and improve our environmental and social performance, ensuring our operations remain sustainable, efficient, and responsible.
Why is EarthCheck important for Prestonfield? As a Five Red Star Hotel, we have a responsibility to lead by example and demonstrate our care. Embracing sustainability is more than just meeting regulations; it's about making a positive impact on our environment and community. EarthCheck certification helps us:
-

-
Boost our reputation: Showcasing our commitment to sustainability enhances our brand and attracts eco-conscious guests.
