About
The Corner London City is a new concept design hotel and the greenest hotel in London, located near Aldgate East on the footsteps of the City of London. Green credentials, quirky style, futuristic design and sustainability are the revolutionary values at the heart of the hotel, that set it apart from all other hotels. Bespoke, handmade furniture and locally sourced fixtures and fittings also add personality: no two of the quirky rooms are the same!
They pride themselves on being London’s Greenest Hotel! With 41% less water consumption than other UK hotels and 67% less CO2 emissions than the industry average, they aim not just to do their bit but to lead the pack and here’s how:
Inside the rooms:
- Recycling bins to separate plastic, paper and general waste
- Sustainably sourced design in every room, featuring a unique all-in-one pod that includes the bed and bathroom
- Bee-Kind organic toiletries
- Hansgrohe Airdrop shower heads in the bathroom mix air with water, reducing the amount of water used by 25% per minute without affecting the shower’s water pressure
- Super king-size mattresses from UK based Natural Mat - handcrafted, natural, organic and made from renewable and sustainable sources
- Bottled filtered water is available in the rooms and in the restaurant, helping to eliminate the use of plastic throughout the hotel
- Furniture in rooms and around the hotel are re-purposed / re-used pieces, including desks made of reclaimed wood and lamps made using old hosepipes
- Guests staying multiple nights who volunteer to not have their room cleaned will receive a £5 voucher to spend at the bar as a way of saying thank you for being part of the green effort
Throughout the hotel;
- C02 emissions are 67% less than industry average - the same as 125 family car trips around the Equator!
