In a striking white structure in Dubai’s traditional Al Jaddaf neighborhood, Form Hotel Dubai strives to surpass the industry’s sustainability standards and has implemented a long-term strategy to make that a reality. The hotel has established a Green Team that is tasked with educating staff, implementing innovative solutions at the hotel, and supporting the local community—all with the aim of making a positive impact from an economic, environmental, and social impact perspective. In this spirit, the hotel has committed to measuring its impact and carbon emissions. The hotel was designed by Architecture-Studio as a tribute to the deconstructed dhow, which reflects the local traditions. During construction, the firm incorporated ample green spaces, which improve air quality and promote biodiversity. The team also integrated high-efficiency fixtures and smart thermostats to monitor and reduce energy use. The hotel has been certified as a green hotel by the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing.
The hotel was designed as a tribute to the deconstructed dhow, which reflects the local Al Jaddaf neighborhood. Green spaces promote the protection of biodiversity, improve the air quality, and cool down built environments.
The hotel uses smart thermostat settings and sets the temperature as per the standard given by Dubai water and electricity authority regulations. It also monitors energy usage and carbon emissions.
High-efficiency fixtures are used in guestrooms. Push-button showers were installed by the pool to reduce waste. Water from air conditioning is reused to water the gardens.
As much as possible, the hotel sources products from its list of 100% local suppliers, each of which has a green certificate from the Dubai municipality.
The hotel hosts yoga and meditation events.
The hotel provides guests with metro and bus cards to encourage public transportation.
The hotel shares its sustainability mission, goals, and progress on its website and hosts events to increase awareness around the importance of building a more sustainable future.
We spoke with the team behind Form Hotel Dubai to learn the latest on the hotel’s conscious journey.
Sustainability is about more than looking after our natural environment. It is also about considering the social and economic impact of what we do and how we do it. We also consider it a good business practice: Operating more sustainably drives costs lower and leads to more efficient management of resources. It reduces harmful business practices, increases the economic life of assets, and ensures the next generation will have the resources to sustain healthy livelihoods.
Along with our sister properties, we participate in charity events, donations, local marathons, gardening days, food festivals, beach cleaning, and more.
Waste management is the biggest sustainability hurdle for our hotel. We are trying to spread awareness for every guest through communications throughout the rooms and public spaces, and by conducting awareness training for our staff. We make and follow action plans regarding water conservation and energy and food waste management.
