Last year, during Earth Hour, a global event promoted by the World Wildlife Fund and consisting of a global voluntary blackout, Solmar Hotels & Resorts made a symbolic gesture to emphasize the importance of reducing the problem of climate change. They partially turned off the lights of buildings in Grand Solmar Land’s End and Solmar Resort properties for one hour. During this time, flares and candles were lit in the shape of the Earth Hour logo, a large “60+” sign, to show support for the cause.
In the framework of a global Earth Hour, a symbolic event to raise awareness about climate change may not seem like a big deal, but Solmar Hotels & Resorts, all located in Mexico’s Cabo San Lucas region, also implements various sustainable actions every day of the year in favor of the care of the natural environment and preservation of the oceans. The hotel chain also carries out specific activities to raise awareness among guests and staff.

This is in addition to year-round actions Solmar Hotels & Resorts has within its properties, such as Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa and The Ridge at Playa Grande, where a system called Multistack has been installed that allows heating the water in the rooms without the need to use gas, which has represented a big savings in CO2 emissions. Following the trend, a machine room with pre-filters has been installed, which has allowed a 65 percent decrease in water consumption.
At Grand Solmar Land’s End, the sun’s heat is stored and used to heat the water in the rooms. At Solmar Resort and Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa, an essential change of lights in the pools was carried out, significantly reducing voltage and energy usage.

Grand Solmar Land’s End Resort & Spa, Grand Solmar Pacific Dunes Resort Golf & Spa, and Playa Grande have unique seawater purification systems, promoting and improving the collection of water, contributing to the fight against overexploitation of local aquifers. Because seawater is abundant and drinkable through the desalination process, the hotels have sufficient access to fresh water supply even during drought.
With the help of guests and the general public, Solmar Hotels & Resorts established a beach protection and preservation program consisting of cleaning campaigns where anyone can join to clean and maintain the seashore’s pristine condition.

Solmar Hotels & Resorts works daily with a commitment to the environment by implementing innovative objectives, goals, policies and procedures that contribute to a comprehensive balance between society, business and the environment, culminating in a sustainable business model. As part of this work, they created Solmar Energy Committees that will focus on analyzing and optimizing water, liquid-petroleum gas and electricity consumption by operating areas.
Solmar Hotels & Resorts are located on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Sur in the region of Cabo San Lucas. Within the Solmar portfolio are Grand Solmar Land’s End Resort & Spa, Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa; The Ridge at Playa Grande, Solmar Resort; and, most recently, Grand Solmar Pacific Dunes and Grand Solmar The Residences.

Sep 6, 2024Escape to Tahiti for a Captivating Island-Hopping Cruise
The 118 islands of French Polynesia reveal themselves layer by fascinating layer, with the spirit of mana (vital force) linking them all the way from Tahiti to the remote reaches of the Marquesas. This is part of the world best savored on a journey that dives as deep into culture as natural beauty, both above and below the water’s surface. A cruise makes it easy to cover a lot of ground while unpacking just once (and sneaking in some work done in comfort, too, during at-sea days). And cruising offers particular appeal within this semi-autonomous French territory sprawling across nearly 2 million square miles of ocean and covering five archipelagos.

Sep 4, 2024The Shelbourne Review
Facing the vast St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin sits the iconic and historic The Shelbourne. Few hotels master the perfect blend of history and luxury, but The Shelbourne gets it right. The site of the signing of the Irish Constitution in 1922 granting the Republic of Ireland its freedom from England, The Shelbourne has hosted its fair share of notable figures, from Michael Collins to Princess Grace Kelly to John Ford, the latter of which was the name of my suite.
