Mona Lisa Suite Hotel Looking to Go Green

"Mona Lisa Suite Hotel, the new 240-room all-suite luxury hotel scheduled to open next month in Celebration, Fla., today detailed steps being taken to make the hotel a leading choice for guests who seek luxurious, high-touch accommodations while minimizing their impact on the environment. To further validate its dedication to being environmentally friendly, the hotel will seek certification from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Green Lodging Program. According to hotel executives, the move is part of the hotel’s commitment to serving the best interests of hotel guests, the neighboring community and other stakeholders.

“Guests are consciously looking for hotels that support the same environmentally friendly decisions they are making in their own homes. It is important that we add value to our local community as well as to guests who choose our suites as their home away from home,” said Jetse Pottinga, regional vice president of operations for Graves World Hospitality, the property’s management company, and general manager of the hotel. “We are committed to doing our part to conserve and protect the area’s natural resources. In addition, our Green Team will continue to look for new ways to reduce waste, minimize pollution and maximize sustainability.”
