The network of hotels under the Archipego Group - like Harper, Aston, Neo, and Fave are now actively prying plastic once-used by stopping single-pack water bottles in the room and replacing them with water dispensers and smart energy efficient systems.
These steps not only suppress operational costs significantly, but also answer to the demands of modern tourists who are increasingly concerned about environmental sustainability.
