Mövenpick Hotel Bahrain switched off lights to support Earth Hour

Mövenpick Hotel Bahrain invited guests to take part in the most important environment-protection event of the year, Earth Hour. Celebrated since 2010 in Mövenpick Hotel Bahrain, the initiative founded by World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) raises awareness on sustainability issues on the planet and gives everyone the opportunity to show their commitment to the environment.

In-house guests were encouraged to switch off their lights on 24 March 2018 at 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, and join the management team and the rest of the guests for a candlelit BBQ dinner at the poolside terrace, while watching Earth Hour videos on the digital LED screens.

Non-essential lights were switched off in the entire hotel, as well as non-critical music in lounges and restaurants in observation of this special occasion. Pasquale Baiguera, general manager of the hotel said, “Switching the lights for an hour has a huge impact, especially if every individual takes a part in this initiative.”

Environment responsibility is one of the key pillars of Mövenpick Hotel Bahrain’s Shine programme, the company’s social and environmental responsibility programme in line with Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts. Mövenpick Hotel Bahrain is the only Green Globe hotel certified in the kingdom.

Just a two-minute walk from Bahrain International Airport, 106-room Mövenpick Hotel Bahrain is only 15 minutes from the business centre of Manama. It was voted the Middle East’s Best Airport Hotel for three consecutive years by Skytrax Awards. Overlooking the sprawling Arad Bay, one of Bahrain’s protected natural habitats, the hotel offers atmospheric dining experiences and rejuvenating treatments in Rimal Spa.
