More Benefits
Statistics show that customers prefer environmentally friendly hotels. With this social revolution underway, all hotels gain an advantage by creating their own environmental program, not only to connect with these consumers and businesses, but to benefit the environment.
Although the Rittenhouse Hotel became a member of Philagreen Hospitality Association and enjoys the many seminars and finds the newsletters very helpful, we hired Ms. Cohen to assist us in developing a road map for implementing green initiatives. She has proved to be most knowledgeable, introducing us to a number of green service providers. To date, with Ms. Cohen's outstanding support and guidance, we have implemented over 35 green programs that reduce our carbon footprint, making The Rittenhouse a safer place for guests and employees, while reducing expenses in a number of areas.
David Benton, General Manager and Vice President of the Rittenhouse Hotel
