Caring for the planet while providing world-class hospitality is the main focus at Hyatt at Olive 8. Here’s a quick snapshot of the hotel’s sustainability practices:

  • The Green rooftop retains 75% of rainwater, helping to mitigate stormwater runoff and insulating the hotel’s meeting spaces to reduce heating + cooling energy consumption.
  • Leftover + untouched food is donated to local hunger-eliminating nonprofits, such as Mary’s Place and Plymouth Housing.
  • Each year, 350,000+ tons of waste is diverted from landfills through composting.
  • Rooftop wind turbines capture fan exhaust and turn it into energy.
