Bangkok--24 Mar--The Westin Grande Sukhumvit
The Westin Grande Sukhumvit, Bangkok is leaving guests in the dark next week. But it’s all for a good cause.
The Westin Grande Sukhumvit will turn off its lights in observance of Earth Hour, a worldwide event organized by the World Wildlife Fund to send a powerful global message about environmental awareness and caring for the planet. Nearly one billion people turned out for Earth Hour 2009 — involving 4,100 cities in 87 countries on seven continents.
To underscore parent Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc.’s dedication to environmental sustainability, The Westin Grande Sukhumvit will also share other energy-saving measures during Earth Hour, March 27 at 8:30 p.m. Among them: turning off exterior signage lighting; dimming or turning off non-essential interior lighting; using candlelight in all restaurants and bars; and using guest letters and signage in the hotel to inform guests about Earth Hour observances.
Earth Hour is drawing strong support from Starwood hotels around the globe. Last year, the unlit hotels offered striking visual imagery that provided an apt symbol of Earth Hour.
“The Westin Grande Sukhumvit is proud to be part of such an inspiring and important global initiative. As part of our commitment to a brighter future, I invite all valued guests to join us in a pledge of support for Earth Hour and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere the event will create in the hotel,” said Charles Jack, General Manager of The Westin Grande Sukhumvit.
Hundreds of Starwood hotels around the world will also coordinate Earth Hour awareness events, including community walk-a-thons, public candlelight “unplugged” concerts, and receptions for guests featuring signature green cocktails.
