How Marsham Court Is Leading the Way in Sustainable Hospitality

In the heart of Bournemouth, Marsham Court Hotel is redefining eco-conscious hospitality. With Green Key certification, award-winning accessibility, and deep-rooted sustainability initiatives, this family-run hotel is proving that responsible tourism can be both impactful and inviting. For guests and event planners seeking stays that align with modern values, Marsham Court sets a powerful example.

A Measurable Commitment to Sustainability

Marsham Court’s green journey is built on transparency and action. The hotel monitors energy and carbon usage hourly and carries out nightly shutdowns of non-essential equipment – demonstrating a granular approach to energy conservation. All cleaning products are eco-certified, and the hotel has replaced traditional lighting with low-energy LEDs throughout.

These efforts have earned Marsham Court the internationally recognised Green Key certification, verifying their ongoing commitment to energy efficiency, resource management, and sustainable operations.

Tackling Waste at the Source

With approximately 7,500 meals served every month, food waste is a major focus. The hotel actively reduces excess through intelligent portion control, careful buffet planning, and by reusing surplus where safe. Unused food is regularly redistributed to local community groups – ensuring nothing goes to waste if it can be repurposed.

In bedrooms, refillable toiletries have replaced single-use plastics. Across the property, unnecessary packaging has been eliminated in favour of biodegradable and reusable alternatives – supporting both environmental aims and guest expectations.

Empowering Guests to Choose Greener

Sustainability at Marsham Court extends beyond operations; it’s about engaging guests, too. Visitors are encouraged to reuse towels, opt for eco-conscious amenities, and explore Bournemouth using greener transport.

The hotel offers EV charging stations and secure cycle parking, with easy access to the Beryl bike scheme and local public transport options – making car-free exploration both practical and encouraged.

Accessibility Meets Environmental Responsibility

Marsham Court is also a national leader in accessibility. Recognised as a Disability Confident Leader, the hotel features Changing Places toilet facilities, sensory rooms, ceiling hoists, and swimming pool access aids. Their ethos of inclusivity is seamlessly integrated with their sustainability goals, ensuring every guest feels welcome – regardless of mobility or sensory needs.

Staff, Suppliers & Sustainable Culture

A dedicated Sustainability Crew drives innovation from within, holding monthly eco-meetings and working alongside suppliers to source greener alternatives. The hotel uses platforms like Climate Essentials to track progress, benchmark improvements, and guide its long-term environmental strategy.

Regular community engagement – through recycling drives and partnerships with local charities such as Health Bus – ensures their impact extends beyond the building.

A Responsible Choice for Modern Travellers

Choosing Marsham Court means supporting a business that values more than just comfort. Here, sustainability and service go hand-in-hand. Guests can enjoy their stay knowing they’re contributing to a greener future – without compromising on experience.

From eco-conscious wedding planners to business delegates and family holidaymakers, Marsham Court is an ideal base for those seeking more than a place to sleep. It’s a place to stay responsibly.
