Shaza Hotels, the regional lifestyle hotel brand, has announced that all of its upcoming hotel developments will be certified to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards - the internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of eco-friendly buildings.
The certification - the first of its kind across an entire hotel brand in the region - demonstrates the hotelier's commitment to environmentally sustainable projects that embody a 'green' lifestyle and embrace the values and traditions of its discerning clientele.
The progressive move will ensure that Shaza's first seven properties - Dubai, Doha, Muscat, Cairo, Bahrain, Jeddah and Marrakech - are designed to follow the internationally-recognized guidelines of LEED.
'There is a great synergy between the cultural traditions of the region and a deep respect for the environment. Shaza has therefore taken the initiative to obtain this globally-respected certification, as part of a conscientious shift towards environmentally sustainable hotels,' said Christopher Hartley, CEO, Shaza Hotels.
