Sustainability
Efforts at Hotel Kabuki
Hotel Kabuki is
committed to promoting sustainability without sacrificing quality of service.
One thing they have implemented that has noticeably reduced energy consumption
is GreenSwitch. Guests insert their room key into a device in the room that
will turn on the electricity. When a guest leaves the room and takes their key
with them, the devices will automatically power down since they are not being
used. Other initiatives they are taking include things like recycling
newspapers, energy-efficient lighting, water-conserving showerheads and
faucets, composting food waste,and donating leftover soaps, shampoos and
lotions to the "Clean the World" foundation.
Community Support
from Joie de Vivre Hotels
As part of the
Joie de Vivre "You Can Make a Difference" program, the hotel will add
one dollar per night per guest room to donate to the National Japanese American Historical Society that
is based in San Francisco's Japantown. It's mission is "dedicated to the
collection, preservation, authentic interpretation, and sharing of historical
information of the Japanese American experience for the diverse broader
national and global community." Guests have the option to choose not
to make this donation.
