Our Journey So Far
Return to Sustainability Home Page
At Cork’s Vienna Woods Hotel, sustainability is more than a commitment, it is a core part of our identity. Nestled within 22 acres of untouched natural woodland and situated near the scenic Glashaboy River, our estate seamlessly blends historic charm with modern, eco-conscious practices. We believe in protecting our beautiful local environment whilst providing an exceptional, responsible stay for all our guests.
What We Have Achieved
Every detail of the guest experience is thoughtfully considered to minimise our environmental impact. Here are some of the key milestones in our green journey to date:
- We have installed over 150 solar panels to help power our facilities with clean energy, complemented by energy-efficient systems in every guest room.
- We have implemented comprehensive on-site water conservation utilising our own water well with efforts to protect local resources and reduce waste.
- We have transitioned to plastic-free rooms, ensuring that our amenities are kinder to the planet.
- Our culinary team champions locally sourced food, supporting Cork's regional producers and significantly reducing our carbon footprint.
- We proudly host sustainable weddings, ensuring your special day leaves a positive, lasting legacy on the environment.
