Responsibility

As one of the largest hotels in the world, the Hilton Hawaiian Village makes a meaningful impact by prioritizing efficiency and environmental preservation. An ASHRAE Level II audit has led to a chiller overhaul, conversion to 100% LED lighting, upgrades in freezer motors, installation of high efficiency motors in guest rooms to improve cooling efficiency, a cooling tower refurbishment to maintain building conditions and optimal efficiency, installation of water flow restriction devices in all guest rooms, irrigation system modifications and corrections to the hot water return. These efficiency upgrades have significantly improved the hotel’s energy and water usage, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and enhanced guest comfort.

As part of a multi-use building, the Hilton Denver City Center occupies the bottom 20 floors of the building with tenant spaces occupying the top 20 floors. The building as a whole has earned ENERGY STAR certification annually for several years. During 2024, the Hilton installed smart thermostats in all the guest rooms. After completion of the project, the hotel has seen a 12% decrease in electricity usage compared to 2023. Additionally, the property operations team monitors and optimizes mechanical systems through a centrally controlled building management system (BMS). This system also captures energy data which the site team uses to identify energy and emissions-reducing opportunities. 

The DoubleTree San Jose has routinely invested in energy and water efficiency initiatives to achieve superior energy performance. Over the last six years, the hotel has improved building HVAC efficiency through a new chiller installation and a cooling tower refurbishment. The property operations team also saves energy by monitoring mechanical systems and implementing preset cooling schedules via its building management system (BMS). This system also captures energy data which the operations team uses to identify energy- and emissions-reducing opportunities.  In the kitchens, demand control ventilation provides automated control over the ventilation system. Finally, recycled water is used for irrigation in the frequently water-stressed region of San Jose.

The Hyatt Regency Boston consistently implements efficiency and environmental initiatives, leading to the property’s ninth ENERGY STAR certification. The hotel has LED lighting throughout, utilizes an analytics platform to monitor and reduce energy usage and leverages its building management system (BMS) to control equipment use. The hotel has also undergone a window replacement project to improve building envelope efficiency, implemented sprinkler system improvements to reduce water and energy usage and approved the installation of networked thermostats for all guest rooms to control energy usage. The property operations team continues to integrate daily best practices with an efficiency checklist to increase team member awareness around energy and water conservation.

In order to drive sustainability efforts, the Hilton Seattle Airport and Conference Center places a strong emphasis on energy efficient projects and operational initiatives, which has helped the site achieve ENERGY STAR certification for 2024. High efficiency LED lighting with motion sensor technology has been installed in certain areas of the hotel, and the property operations team monitors and optimizes mechanical systems through a centrally controlled building management system (BMS). This system also captures energy data which the site team uses to identify energy and emissions-reducing opportunities. 

In order to drive efficiency, the Juniper Hotel Cupertino places a strong emphasis on energy efficient mechanical and operational initiatives, which has helped the site achieve ENERGY STAR certification for the second consecutive year. High efficiency LED lighting with motion sensor technology has been installed throughout the hotel, and improved HVAC efficiency has been achieved through chiller compressor upgrades. Major equipment including the cooling tower is equipped with high efficiency leak detection devices to reduce water and energy consumption. The property operations team monitors and optimizes mechanical systems through a centrally controlled building management system (BMS). This system also captures energy data to identify energy- and emissions-reducing opportunities. 

DoubleTree Mission Valley has maintained consistent energy efficient operations and has been certified for the third year in a row! The property energy management team continues to prioritize saving energy by monitoring and optimizing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and electrical systems through a building management system (BMS), and through operational best practices including regularly turning off lights and adjusting thermostat settings in unoccupied areas. Additionally, the property purchases 100% green power through renewable energy certificates.

For several years, the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort has prioritized efficiency upgrades through both renovations and ROI capital projects. The hotel has made substantial upgrades to HVAC systems, and LED lighting with motion sensor technology has been installed throughout the property. Guestrooms are equipped with high performance, low-flow faucets and showerheads to reduce both water and energy consumption. The property operations team monitors and optimizes mechanical systems through a centrally controlled building management system (BMS). This system also captures energy data which the site team uses to identify energy and emissions-reducing opportunities and keep the building running as efficiently as possible.

Our associates are the foundation for our success. We value building a high-performing workplace culture and we prioritize developing the leaders who drive our organizational success. We offer comprehensive and competitive Total Rewards to attract top talent and seek to stay in touch with our associates through annual surveys and ongoing development opportunities.

The Park Cares Committee is responsible for selecting, organizing and administering associate-led volunteering efforts in our community. Park continues to support the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (“APAH”) through both a back-to-school supplies drive and an annual reading initiative; the National Capital Area Salvation Army’s annual Angel Tree children’s holiday gift and clothing drive; Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School’s Corporate Work Study Program through internship positions through the organization; and N Street Village through activities such as toiletries supply and snack drives and meal preparation.

Several of our properties are committed to supporting local farms and businesses by sourcing food and beverage products from nearby suppliers. The Hilton McLean Tysons Corner partners with local farms and businesses such as Great Greens in Virginia, Moorenko’s Ice Cream in Maryland, Meadow Creek Dairy in Virginia, Mountain View Farm in Virginia and Meat Crafters in Maryland. By prioritizing local suppliers, these properties not only deliver fresh and nutritious food to their guests but also make meaningful investments in their surrounding communities.
