Majestic Hotel is located in center of Ho Chi Minh City, opposite to the Saigon River. The hotel with French architecture built in 1925 is one of the oldest hotels in the city.
Over the years, Majestic Hotel has been one of the leading hotels using energy effectively in Ho Chi Minh City. The hotel honorably received the Asian Energy Award 2002, the ISO Golden Cup Award 2006 and 2007, the first prize in the Energy Efficiency Buildings Contest 2008, the ASEAN Green Hotel Award 2012.
Considering current competitive trends, Majestic Hotel has set up development policy with the slogan "Tradition - Hospitality - Elegance" towards model of a green hotel. The hotel focused to implement the solutions to save energy as: replacing energy-prohibitive bulbs with energy-efficient ones, regulating air-conditioning systems to rational temperatures; using solar water heating system, moving the laundry time into off peak electricity time to save cost, installing extra electric and water meter to monitor and control the electricity and water consumption, installing extra sieve in the sink in the kitchen to reduce solid waste slipping into the waste water system …
Besides the above solutions, the hotel also promoted the awareness of environmental protection for staff and encouraged customers to use energy economically and efficiently through measures such as: training staff in the hotel on environmental protection measures such as sorting and recycling of waste, managing and using of chemical, reminding staff to turn off lights after working time; encouraging customers continue to use sheets and towels which are still useable …
Thanks to the implementation of those solutions, the hotel not only contributes to protect environment but also can cut down business costs and becomes a hotel model of using energy economically and efficiently.
