At BWH Hotels, we believe travel should leave a positive legacy. That’s why we’re committed to helping our independently owned hotels across Great Britain operate responsibly; protecting the planet, supporting our people, and strengthening local communities.
All BWH Hotels in Great Britain are working towards REST accreditation, Responsible, Ethical, Sustainable Tourism, in partnership with Quality in Tourism. This initiative, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, provides a clear and credible framework for hotels of all sizes to make measurable progress in sustainability.
Whether it’s reducing emissions, sourcing locally, or supporting inclusive hiring, REST helps our hotels take meaningful action—so you can enjoy a stay that’s both comfortable and responsible.
Whether you’re travelling for business, booking on behalf of clients, or planning a family break, REST accreditation gives you peace of mind. It’s our promise that your stay supports a hotel committed to:
Responsible: We build strong relationships with our local communities, support charities, and champion local products and services. Our hotels actively take part in environmental and community initiatives, making a real difference where it matters most.
Ethical: We’re dedicated to fair treatment for all, with equal opportunities, accessibility, and staff wellbeing at the heart of our operations.
Sustainable: We work hard to reduce waste, save water, and cut our carbon footprint. Many of our hotels use renewable energy and create green spaces for guests to enjoy, ensuring a lighter touch on the planet for future generations.
Business Travellers & Agents: Book with confidence, knowing your choice aligns with your company’s values and sustainability goals.
Leisure Guests: Enjoy your stay, knowing you’re supporting hotels that care for people and the planet.
