Sustainability Meets Sophistication
Nestled in the vibrant Sathorn business district, Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn Bangkok stands tall as a symbol of eco-conscious elegance. It is the only hotel in Bangkok offering direct access to the BTS Skytrain via Surasak Station, ensuring convenience without compromise. The property has incorporated sustainability into every operational layer — from design and energy efficiency to guest experiences and community partnerships. According to General Manager Chuleekorn Mungsunti, “Sustainability at Eastin Grand is not just a target; it’s a way of life. We take pride in contributing to a greener future through responsible practices and meaningful engagement with our local community.”
Eco Conscious Design and Operations
To align with the stringent Green Globe standards, the hotel follows a detailed Sustainability Management Plan (SMP) that promotes energy conservation, waste reduction, and biodiversity. Its rooftop garden is a tranquil haven of native tropical plants that help conserve water, improve air quality, and create a natural refuge amidst the urban skyline. The space not only beautifies the property but also plays a vital role in offsetting carbon emissions and enhancing the guest experience.
In a unique eco-innovation, the hotel replaced traditional floral arrangements with glass terrariums. This initiative saves approximately 200 fresh flower stems every month, translating to around 4,000 baht in savings while reducing waste. The terrariums, which adorn the lobby, restaurants, and executive areas, symbolize a harmony between design and environmental mindfulness.
Championing Local and Sustainable Sourcing
A key pillar of Eastin Grand Sathorn’s sustainability journey is its dedication to local producers. The hotel sources Thai-grown coffee, tea, and fresh seafood directly from responsible suppliers. Dishes prepared with locally caught giant trevally and organic vegetables celebrate Thailand’s agricultural heritage while minimizing food miles and supporting the local economy. Every cup of coffee and every plate served carries a deeper connection to Thailand’s sustainable farming traditions.
