JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong is celebrating a proud double achievement with the LEED O+M (Operations and Maintenance) Gold Certification and WELL Health-Safety Rating. The dual recognition underscores the hotel’s continued commitment to operating more sustainably while creating a healthy, safe and welcoming environment for guests and colleagues.
As the first and flagship JW Marriott property in Asia Pacific, the hotel has integrated environmental responsibility and people-centric practices across its daily operations. The dual recognition reflects efforts ranging from improving energy and water efficiency and reducing waste to strengthening health, safety and indoor environmental quality.
“Managing this high-volume property with 608 rooms, 18 event venues and eight distinctive dining outlets in the heart of a vibrant city comes with profound complexities, making these certifications all the more meaningful,” said Mr GP Yeow, General Manager of JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong. “We are proud to demonstrate that exceptional hospitality and meaningful environmental and social responsibility can gracefully coexist.”

Representatives from JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, its owning companies, USGBC, IWBI, partners and special guests came together to celebrate the hotel’s dual achievements.
The LEED O+M Gold Certification, awarded under the globally recognised Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), recognises the hotel’s efforts to operate as a high-performance, more sustainable property. Initiatives include optimising energy and water use, enhancing indoor environmental quality and minimising waste.
Complementing this is the WELL Health-Safety Rating from the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), which recognises the hotel’s focus on creating a safe and welcoming environment for guests, colleagues and the wider community. Measures include advanced air filtration, eco-friendly sanitation and robust emergency preparedness, aligning with the JW Marriott brand’s emphasis on mindfulness and wellness.
JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong continues to integrate responsible practices into its operations while delivering exceptional hospitality and a refined guest experience.
Guests are also invited to take part in the hotel’s sustainability journey through initiatives such as water dispensers, linen and towel reuse, eco-conscious dining choices and paperless meeting tools. The hotel’s Green Lifestyle Map further encourages guests to discover mindful and eco-conscious experiences within the property and its surrounding neighbourhood.
Together, the dual achievements highlight JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong’s continued efforts to bring together sustainable operations, guest well-being and thoughtful hospitality in the heart of the city.
