The hotel took on a renew instead of reconstruct approach, choosing to preserve the heritage of the 1987 building instead of tearing it down. The hotel’s soaring atrium and iconic structure were preserved during the transformation. 

Our Urban Farm’s sustainably grown produce encompasses the trifecta concept of farm-to-table, farm-to-bar and farm-to-spa. The farm produce are used at Peppermint, Peach Blossoms, Portman's Bar, Skyline Bar, as well as St. Gregory. The farm's contribution helps craft a holistic lifestyle experience.

The in-room water filtration system has eliminated the need for bottled water. The bathrooms are equipped with refillable pump bottles, eliminating the use of miniature bath amenities. Water carafes are provided at meetings and events and the provision of single-use plastic bottled water has ceased.

The hotel has installed motion sensors in all guestrooms, enabling intelligent temperature control and efficient use of energy. These motion sensors power down lights and air-conditioning when guests leave the room, and switches back on, when movement is detected in the room.
