Novotel Montreal Centre, a four-star hotel located in the heart of Montreal, proudly meets the growing commitment to sustainability within the hospitality industry. As travelers increasingly prioritize sustainability, the hotel has embraced sustainable practices to meet this growing demand. In early 2024, they proudly achieved a 4-key rating from Green Key Global, one of North America’s leading sustainability certification programs, as a testament to their commitment.

“The assessment process was straightforward and took just over a month,” says Thomas Deegan, General Manager. “Certification was simple, and we received support whenever needed.”

The hotel prioritized sustainability certification after experiencing demand from individual travellers, businesses and governments. Key sustainability initiatives include:

• Eliminating single-use plastics 
• Transitioning to non-toxic cleaning products 
• Enhancing recycling and composting efforts 
• Upgrading to environmentally friendly HVAC systems 

These efforts reflect Novotel Montreal’s ongoing dedication to sustainability, supported by its staff’s commitment to continuous education and improvement. The hotel has a sustainability manager and a green team.

Because of the value of Green Key Global sustainability certification, their ownership group, which has other properties across the world, has standardizing their sustainability efforts through Green Key Global certification all over.
