Le Meridien Amman Launches a New Stylish Sustainability Meeting Package

Amman (I-Newswire) September 28, 2011 - Le Meridien Amman, a subsidiary of Starwood Hotels and Resorts, is proud to announce the launch of its new stylish sustainable meeting room; Al Mass, accommodating an average of 35 persons with state of the art facilities, and is most suitable for brainstorming, networking or simply meetings and interviews.

The sustainability program aims at meeting the needs of the customers, while reducing the impact of businesses on the environment, an option that is nowadays becoming more pressing and essential, as a growing number of businesses and organizations are now requiring that their meeting events meet a certain environmental standard.

The meeting room has recycling bins, provides white boards instead of flip charts, cloth napkins instead of paper, recycled and recyclable paper, reusable plates, glasses and silverware, environmentally friendly and purified alternatives to conventional bottled water, environmentally preferable cleaning products, ability to book through emails and energy-saving lighting, in addition to a special sustainable coffee break.

“We are committed to our ongoing policy of preserving nature and the environment,” said Giuseppe Ressa; General Manager of Le Meridien Amman. “We are excited to highlight our sustainable meeting practices, which integrate environmental and social responsibility into the meeting process, not only for our meeting planners and guests but also for our associates.”

Le Meridien Amman has 11 other meeting spaces, including the Royal Convention Centre which is the largest in Amman accommodating up to 1,000 guests and the recently renovated Grand Ballroom, which is most suitable for weddings and can accommodate up to 250 guests.
