LOCATED in the heart of London lies One Aldwych – the independent luxury hotel blending Parisian grandeur with contemporary city living. Since being established in 1998, the hotel has become an epicentre of responsible, thoughtful hospitality.

Now, One Aldwych has just announced that it has become B Corp ™ certified, making it the first and only five-star hotel in London to achieve this recognition. A B Corp™ certification ensures that a company meets high standards of environmental performance, accountability, and public transparency.
By prioritising care and sustainability, One Aldwych’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact is undeniable. To start, the hotel ensures that, where possible, local suppliers and producers work with the company to provide amenities such as bathroom products, hand-woven blankets, and chocolates.

Similarly, One Aldwych aims to reduce its energy usage by 5% through more responsible use of gas, water and electricity. The hotel also utilises careful metrics to determine energy usage and food wastage, further underlining its dedication to sustainable practices.
Finally, the hotel continues to support charity organisations such as Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity and The Connection at St. Martin’s.

Speaking on the B Corp ™ recognition, Managing Director Janine Marshall said: “Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do and has been for over 20 years. Responsibility has to be taken all the way down the ecosystem, from day-to-day operations to the materials and amenities provided. We speak to our guests, our designers and suppliers to assess what’s important for them – and to them. From locally sourced goods to low-impact lighting, water and electricity, to upcycling materials and composting waste, sustainability is our promise – it’s in our DNA, everyone in the hotel is involved and committed.”
