Our Green Initiatives
Choose to Conserve Program
Opt out of stay‑over housekeeping and earn 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night—saving water, energy, and cleaning products while rewarding you for making a sustainable choice.
Composting Program
We have implemented full composting across both our hotel and restaurant operations—reducing waste from the front and back of house while supporting a cleaner future. Our use of biodegradable disposables help divert waste from landfills and support a more circular ecosystem.
Zero Single-Use Plastics
We’ve eliminated all single-use plastics across the property, replacing them with reusable, compostable, or biodegradable alternatives wherever possible.
PATH Water Partnership
We proudly offer PATH aluminum water bottles—refillable, recyclable, and designed to help eliminate plastic bottle waste from the start. Refill stations are conveniently located throughout the hotel, making it easy to stay hydrated and reduce waste during your stay.
Chemical-Free Cleaning
Our partnership with Tersano allows us to clean and sanitize using Stabilized Aqueous Ozone—a powerful, chemical-free solution that’s safe for guests, staff, and the planet.
Efficient Fixtures
Our guest rooms and public spaces feature low-flow toilets, water-efficient fixtures, and double-glazed windows—conserving energy and water without sacrificing comfort. In our lobby, Solatubes channel natural sunlight into the space, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day and enhancing the ambiance with soft, energy-efficient light.
Sustainable Dining
At Giulia and Spyhouse Coffee Lounge, we proudly offer seasonal, locally-sourced vegetarian and vegan options that reflect our region’s bounty.
Bike Rentals & Racks
We offer bike rentals for guests to explore the city sustainably, along with secure on-site bike racks for personal bikes.
Indoor Green Spaces
Our lush public spaces are filled with hundreds of live plants—improving air quality, enhancing wellness, and expressing our love of biophilic design.
Community Engagement
We partner with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to allow our team to volunteer for park and river clean-up initiatives.
Eco-Conscious by Design
At Emery, sustainability isn’t only about what you see—it’s about what you feel, smell, and experience. We’re committed to protecting our planet, nurturing our community, and creating genuine, thoughtful moments for every guest.
