Adoption of green practices typically helps hotels realize considerable savings, while keeping up with the level of their services. Examples of green practices some hotels have adopted are:

- reducing laundry water temperatures from 90 °C to 60 °C,

- replacing incandescent lights with compact fluorescent lamps,

- installing low-flow shower head and low-flow toilets,

- offering a sheet and towel reuse program whereby guests have their linens exchanged every two to three days instead of daily,

- installing solar panels to heat water,

- implementing a hotel-wide recycling program,

- replacing individual soaps and lotions with wall dispensers.
