Upcycling Linen – Sustainable Staycation

Raffles Jakarta also encourages our guests to participate in the initiatives through “Sustainable Staycation”, where guests can upgrade their stay to the Suite category and participate in the hotel Upcycling Linen program.

At Raffles Jakarta, we intend to combine development with growth that respects the environment and local communities program. The current objective is to tackle Jakarta’s hotel textile waste problem while raising the public’s awareness and appreciation toward upcycling fashion with a collaboration project with JKT Creative and Ibu Rusun (Women in the family of subsidized housing)

Available in limited editions, the upcycled, hand-embroidered shirt and creative pouch will be gifted to the guests who book the Sustainable Staycation experience. For every stay in the Raffles Room category, guests will receive a creative Pouch, while guests in the Suite category receive the Shirt.

“Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do; for us, it is a new luxury. We feel that the modern-day luxury traveler is looking for sustainability in travel and contributing in some form to the environment and the community.”
Yves Mudry – General Manager of Raffles Jakarta.
