The Hilton Meadowlands, in East Rutherford, New Jersey, has completed the first phase of a multi-million dollar renovation, which includes the conversion from the Sheraton flag and the integration of several eco-friendly practices.
The hotel’s recently completed solar carport has a capacity to produce 1.1 megawatts of clean energy annually, providing approximately 20 percent of the property’s energy.
Other green programs include composting of organic waste, meeting space recycling, food donations, elimination of Styrofoam, and energy-efficient digital signing. The hotel additionally participates in Clean the World, a non-profit, global health program that hygienically recycles and donates more than 3.2 million bars of soap and 1.7 million bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion to children around the world.
“We are thrilled to welcome Hilton Meadowlands to our portfolio, expanding our presence in New Jersey to nine Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties,” says Rob Palleschi, global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts. “This hotel offers an ideal location just outside Manhattan and nearby attractions along with the updated amenities and services our guests want and have come to expect from our brand.”
