Our Commitment to Sustainability

We’re fussy about our partners, choosing only those who are in sync with our shared values. Here is a taste of what we’ve done so far to tread lighter:

Toothbrushes, combs and shaving kit? Available only on guest request. Shower cap made from biodegradable material, shaving kit made with wood and wheat straw, comb and toothbrush made from bamboo.

We have swapped single-use small format bathroom products with refillable Tom Dixon pump dispensers.

Biodegradable paper is in while we work towards a paper-free future.

Our dining venues showcase fresh, local ingredients wherever possible, and we look for suppliers who share our sustainable goals. From the locally sourced vegetables from Sydney Direct Fresh Products to local Australian meat from Haverick that started as a small family business in Paddington back in 1963.

From thoughtful design to clever tech touch points, you will find sustainability across QT:

• LED lights are in, brightening up QT with low energy vibes.
• Water Smarts: We are saving water with low-flow taps and dual-flush loos.
• With our NABERS Energy and Water rating, we are tracking every watt and drop used, making sure we are on the path to a better tomorrow.

We are also reducing waste, reusing what we can, and recycling the rest. Our check-in process is now paperless, and our room keys are made of wood.

Sips with No Plastic Trips: StrangeLove glass bottles.

With the help of our guests, we are rolling out small steps in-room that make a big difference:

The Towel Turnaround: Skip a towel change, save some water, and score a $10 food and drink voucher.

Our team believes that we all have a responsibility to protect the planet and its natural resources for future generations, and we strive to make a positive impact in our local environment and community. We strongly advise all our visitors not to purchase merchandise derived from rare and threatened species as part of this responsibility. 

QT Sydney partners with local causes and initiatives:

STRETCH Workplace Giving Program: Empowers our team members to donate to community partners. Our extensive list of Stretch Partners currently includes The Children’s Hospital Foundation, Assistance Dogs Australia, Lifeline, WWF Australia and Disabled Winterport Australia.

Supporting Young Futures: we proudly support youth education and employment by partnering with registered training organisations in NSW who offer nationally accredited training programmes.

Celebrating Indigenous Art & Culture: We encourage guests to explore and support local Aboriginal artists through https://aboriginalartgalleries.com.au/ showcasing authentic works that connect deeply with our country and culture.
