Sustainability Statement

Decorative Image Element
At Hotel Gotham Newcastle, we are committed to building a more sustainable future by reducing our environmental impact, supporting our local community, and operating responsibly across all areas of our business. We are dedicated to improving our energy efficiency, minimising waste, and sourcing products thoughtfully and ethically.

In partnership with GoGreen, we actively benchmark our environmental performance and identify opportunities for meaningful, measurable progress. This collaboration allows us to set clear targets, monitor our impact, and continuously refine our approach to sustainability.

We are committed to continual improvement, striving to reduce our carbon footprint and embed sustainable practices throughout the guest experience, from operations behind the scenes to the services we provide every day.

Located in the heart of Newcastle city centre, Hotel Gotham Newcastle occupies a historic former fire station, originally built in 1934. We are proud to preserve and celebrate this heritage building while adapting it for modern, sustainable use, ensuring its legacy continues for generations to come.

Through conscious decision-making and ongoing innovation, we aim to create a luxurious yet responsible experience for our guests, contributing positively to both the environment and the vibrant Newcastle community.
