Sensible Sustainability Solutions

Bill Bensley, who has spent over 30 years designing and building hotels, has produced Sensible Sustainability Solutions - a White Paper for Hotel Industry to Help Fight Climate Change and Make the World A Better Place. 

Committed to conservation, sustainability and philanthropy Bill states he is “done with designing lavish hotels just to put heads on beds”. 

“We should shoulder more responsibility concerning issues such as education, clean accessible water, alternative energy, energy consumption, food waste, wildlife protection and conservation.” 

The concise Sensible Sustainable Solutions outlines 20 suggestions for hotel designers, owners and operators on designing better hotels to help fight climate change and covers three core pillars: 

• Build with a purpose 

• Think locally and sustainably, and 

• Build sensibly 

The paper carries examples of hotels Bill has designed that showcase these principles, including : 

• Four Seasons Tented Camp and Four Seasons Koh Samui in Thailand 

• Capella Ubud in Bali 

• the Siam Bangkok 

• Rosewood Luang Prabang 

• JW Marriott Phu Quoc in Vietnam, and 

• his co-owned Shinta Mani and Bensley Collection Hotels in Cambodia.
