First Hometel – room2 opens in London
The first Hometel property – room2, has just opened in Chiswick in London. It is also the world’s first carbon neutral hotel.
room2 Chiswick uses 89% less energy per sq-mt than a typical UK hotel. It is also the first hotel in the world to fully account for its entire carbon footprint, making it 'whole life net zero'. All emissions associated with the Hometel's construction and its operation including the eventual clearance of the building will equal zero.
room2 Chiswick has a green roof planted with wildflowers to increase biodiversity and absorb CO2, as well as housing beehives and bug hotels.
Internally, room2 Chiswick has 86 bedrooms and suites, each with a kitchenette and access to the cafe and restaurant. The hotel has a laundry area guests can use and a gym as well as the more standard bar and communal areas.
The facilities and décor in room2 Chiswick have been inspired by the 19th century arts and crafts heritage movement, which valued craftsmanship over mass factory production. Hence each room has been crafted in collaboration with local artisans. They also feature a mattress-menu.
room2 Chiswick has an independently run café by day and cocktail bar by night specialising in locally sourced organic food, coffee and wine.
room2 Chiswick is located in Windmill Road the heart of Chiswick's high street around five miles from central London and a short walk from Turnham Green tube station.
