Conserve energy
If a light is left on overnight, within a year it accounts for as much greenhouse gas as a car journey from Paris to Richmond. So help to reduce energy by switching off your room lights when not needed. If you are staying in a Hill Collection Room your lights are automated by your key card but think smart and save energy if staying in a traditional Georgian room or when using a meeting room.
Give the car a rest
Getting to Richmond couldn't be simpler, we encourage you to leave the car at home if you can. Rail links to the hotel are excellent and we are only a 15 walk from Richmond rail station. The walk to the hotel also offers a picturesque view of The River Thames and Petersham Meadows. Whilst with us, why not try some of the fantastic local outdoor activities Richmond has to offer, or hire a bicycle for the day? Our reception team will be happy to provide more information on cycle hire, walking routes and the best jogging routes. Find out more about cycle hire in Richmond.
Shop Local
There are some fantastic local producers and independent businesses operating in Richmond. Use local products, they give you a flavour of the area and help support our local community. We are fortunate to have some fantastic producers of food, drink and arts in Richmond. Ask us about the local produce or drinks we provide here at the hotel.
Be Water Wise
6 litres of water is wasted per minute if the tap is left running whilst brushing your teeth. The UK has rising costs for water treatments and flood defences, so we encourage you to be water wise during your stay.
Respect Nature
Help us to look after our beautiful landscape and local wildlife by not littering, guarding against fire and using footpaths and cycle paths responsibly.
