Green Initiatives:

The Grande Colonial Hotel, La Jolla is a proud recipient of the prestigious Green Eco-Leaf Rating from iStayGreen.org, the online social network of environmentally-friendly travel.  Learn more here.

We are also acknowledged by Waste Management San Diego for our outstanding efforts in our waste diversion program.  In 2011, we received a 76% diversion percentage, which means we have exceeded expectations with our methods of waste separation.  Our disposal and recycling efforts allow for cleaner resource extraction during the material recovery process, as well as contribute to the overall sustainability of our environment.

As part of our continuing commitment to the environment, the Grande Colonial Hotel implements the following green initiatives:
  • We are La Jolla's "original green" hotel.  In other words, we have taken a historic building and "recycled" it over the years, rather than tearing it down. Stay at Grande Colonial and experience the luxury of La Jolla boutique hotels with historical charm and convenience while traveling "green".
  • We have an in-house Environmental Committee dedicated to seeking new ways to preserve our hotel environment and reduce, reuse and recycle.
  • We have a new hot water system that reduces energy use and water temperature during off peak times of the day.  
  • We have a comprehensive hotel recycling program that includes all 93 guest rooms and suites.
  • We use fluorescent lights to reduce the amount of energy used throughout the hotel.
  • Our NINE-TEN Restaurant chefs grow much of our own herbs and vegetables through our on-site hydroponic vertical garden.
  • All of our paper products, as well as printed collateral materials, are made of 20% recycled material.
  • We have a linen re-use program for guest room towels and bed linens.
  • Our NINE-TEN Restaurant uses all bio-degradable to-go bags, containers and cups.
  • All of our shower heads are 2.5 gallon low flow shower heads.
  • All of our toilets are 1.6 gallon low flow toilets.
  • Digital thermostats have been installed in each guest room and suite to keep room temperatures constant.
  • We recycle all batteries, computer parts, light bulbs, and paper, plastic, glass and aluminum products.
  • Green Eco-Leaf Rating from iStayGreen.
  • Waste Management San Diego 76% Diversion Percentage: We have exceeded expectations with our methods of waste separation and our disposal and recycling efforts allow for cleaner resource extraction and contribute to the overall sustainability of our environment.
