Our Green Way – Sustainable Hospitality in Killarney
Our sustainability approach is guided by the O’Donoghue Ring Collection’s “Our Green Way” programme. This initiative focuses on practical actions that reduce our carbon footprint while supporting our local community. From energy efficiency to waste reduction, sustainability is built into everyday hotel life.
Key areas of focus include reducing energy and water usage, minimising food waste, eliminating single-use plastics and lowering carbon emissions across our operations. We are proud to be Green Hospitality certified and to work with Fifty Shades Greener, ensuring our sustainability efforts meet recognised industry standards.
Eco-Friendly Practices at Killarney Towers
We focus on meaningful, achievable changes that make a real difference. Energy-efficient lighting, heating and operational systems help reduce consumption, while improved waste management supports recycling and responsible disposal.
We also prioritise local and sustainable sourcing wherever possible. By working with Irish producers and suppliers, we reduce food miles, support the local economy and bring fresh, seasonal flavours to our guests.
From Urban Farm to Table
As part of the O’Donoghue Ring Collection, Killarney Towers benefits from the collection’s innovative urban hydroponic farm, where fresh, pesticide-free produce is grown right in the heart of Killarney. This forward-thinking approach dramatically reduces food miles while delivering ultra-fresh ingredients to our kitchens. It’s a smart, modern way to support local, reduce environmental impact and ensure our food is as fresh and flavourful as possible.
Protecting Killarney’s Natural Environment
Killarney’s landscapes, national park and biodiversity are central to the visitor experience. Across the O’Donoghue Ring Collection, conservation and biodiversity initiatives support pollinators and promote environmental awareness. These actions help preserve the natural surroundings that attract visitors to Killarney year after year.
Sustainable Travel Options
We encourage guests to consider greener travel options when visiting Killarney. Electric vehicle charging facilities available across the collection make sustainable travel more accessible, whether you’re exploring the Wild Atlantic Way or enjoying a town-centre break.
New Addition for 2026: Solar PV
We are delighted to announce the installation of new rooftop PV solar panels across our apartment complex. This renewable energy upgrade allows us to generate clean, sustainable electricity on site, significantly reducing our carbon footprint and reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
The addition of solar power further strengthens our green policy and reflects our ongoing commitment to environmentally responsible practices, while continuing to provide comfortable and efficient accommodation for our guests.
