The Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi is pioneering sustainable luxury with the first-ever fully vegan hotel room in the region. As the vegan lifestyle drastically grows in popularity, the Mandarin Oriental recognizes that veganism is not limited to food and beverage alone. In their vegan room, all fabrics are non-chemically treated, the bedsheets are 100% organic and biodegradable, and the staff cannot enter the room in leather shoes. As the hotel makes plans to expand its offering of vegan rooms, they’re paving the way for a more sustainable future for the luxury market.
