WATER CONSERVATION
At DoubleTree by Hilton Doha – Al Sadd, we are committed to conserving water through the use of high-efficiency fixtures. Our automated sensors ensure water is only used when necessary, while faucet aerators have been installed to minimize water flow without compromising functionality. These initiatives help us significantly reduce our water consumption, contributing to sustainability and responsible resource management.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Monitoring and Managing Consumption
As part of Hilton’s Travel with Purpose sustainability program, we utilize the LightStay Tracker to monitor and track our energy consumption monthly, ensuring that it aligns with our occupancy levels. If we observe any unexpected increases in energy use, our Building Management System (BMS) sends an alert to the Engineering Team. This allows us to promptly adjust our consumption and stay on track with the energy targets outlined in our 2030 Travel with Purpose goals.
Switching Off Unused Lights and Electronics
Our lighting systems are equipped with motion sensors that automatically switch off lights in unoccupied areas. In addition, electronics such as TVs, monitors, computers, and printers are programmed to enter sleep mode or power down after a preset period of inactivity. We exclusively purchase energy-efficient equipment, and all lighting fixtures on the property use LED technology, further reducing energy consumption.
Optimizing Air Conditioning
To ensure both energy efficiency and guest comfort, our air conditioning systems are set to maintain temperatures between 22°C and 24°C. This range provides optimal cooling while conserving energy.
FOOD SUSTAINABILITY
Minimizing Food Waste
We have implemented a range of measures to reduce food waste across the hotel. These include introducing "no bin days" in our team cafeteria to encourage mindful consumption, as well as utilizing a First In, First Out (FIFO) system in our kitchens to ensure that older ingredients are used before newer ones. This practice not only reduces waste but also maintains the freshness and quality of our food offerings.
Proper Food Storage
Our food storage processes strictly adhere to HACCP standards, ensuring the highest levels of food safety and minimizing spoilage.
TRANSPORTATION
Promoting Sustainable Travel
We encourage both our guests and team members to stay active and reduce their carbon footprint by walking whenever possible, especially to nearby locations like Doha Sands. The hotel's proximity to the metro also makes it convenient for guests to explore the city using eco-friendly public transportation. Additionally, our new car rental program features energy-efficient vehicles, providing guests with a sustainable transportation option.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Our waste management policy revolves around the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling materials, including paper, plastic, metal, and food. We have reduced the use of single-use plastics, such as, cutlery, cups, bags, and containers, across the hotel. We also encourage thoughtful consumption with our "Think Twice Before You Print" campaign, reducing unnecessary paper waste.
HEALTHY SPACES
Improving Indoor Air Quality and Maximizing Natural Light
We take indoor air quality seriously and have installed air purification systems throughout the building’s ventilation system. These systems enhance air circulation, ensuring a healthy environment for both guests and team members. Furthermore, our property is designed to make optimal use of natural daylight, reducing reliance on artificial lighting. Indoor plants have been placed in guest and employee areas to further enhance air quality and create a calming, nature-connected atmosphere.
SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION
Eco-friendly Products and Local Sourcing
In line with our sustainability goals and Hilton’s LightStay program, we prioritize the use of eco-friendly supplies and aim to eliminate single-use materials wherever possible. We also support local farmers and suppliers by sourcing fresh, local produce for our menus, reducing the carbon footprint associated with food transportation and contributing to the local economy.

Hydration Support
