The newly renovated Coast Bastion Hotel, located in downtown Nanaimo, blends modern luxury with scenic beauty, making it a must-stay accommodation on Vancouver Island. Through a long-term collaboration with Green Key Global and the Coast Hotel Refreshingly Green™ program, the hotel embraces environmentally sustainable practices.

General Manager, David McQuinn, first felt lost on the property’s sustainability journey. However, collaboration with Green Key Global revealed that sustainability is an ongoing process. The Green Key Eco-Rating Program not only advanced their efforts but also delivered tangible results.
Green Key Global’s dedicated staff played a crucial role in achieving their sustainability goals. “Green Key Global was a solution for our hotel because of the way they engaged with us when we fully engaged with them,” McQuinn noted.

Both staff and customers are invested in sustainability. According to McQuinn, RFP’s are now requesting sustainability certification, and guests frequently inquire about their advances in sustainability.

Coast Bastion Hotel’s approach resonates with both staff and customers, ensuring that the hotel remains a preferred choice. Through collaboration with Green Key Global, Coast Bastion Hotel is well-equipped to continue contributing to responsible tourism.
