Coventry’s Telegraph Hotel has installed 60 new solar PV panels on its roof, which will see 8.5% of all energy used on site produced by the panels, with 50% of all energy usage coming from renewable sources.
The new panels follow a range of initiatives that have helped to reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint, including 98% of the building utilising LED lighting, with sensor lighting in public areas and store cupboards to reduce the wastage of energy when it is not required.
The solar panels were supported by a grant from the Business Growth West Midlands Net Zero Grant programme, a project funded by the UK government through the Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and delivered by Coventry City Council.
The hotel has also cut down on printed materials and reduced the number of towels and bed linen that are replaced for individual guests, with their agreement. Hotel guests also have access to water bottle stations on all bedroom floors and recycling stations in public areas.
The reimagining of the former newspaper building itself made a positive contribution to the environment, with many of the original materials and features maintained during the transformation into a mid-Century hotel.
The team also receive training on best practices and are made aware of new processes to “ensure they are able to deliver on the Telegraph’s green policy”.
In addition, from food and cooking oils to batteries, every waste stream is “carefully handled” through sustainable practices.
Amy Windsor, general manager of the Telegraph Hotel, said: “The installation of the new solar panels is part of our ongoing commitment to making the Telegraph as environmentally friendly as possible.
“Coventry is at the forefront of sustainability, innovation and decarbonisation. This is a shared responsibility for all businesses in the city and we’re proud to play our part in supporting the city to achieve its ambitious net zero goals.”
She added: “Sustainability is something that is important to us and to our guests and we will continue to look at every part of our operation to see where there are opportunities to make further improvements.
“People absolutely love the Telegraph – whether they’re staying for the night, here for a meal or visiting for a corporate event – and that’s because we provide the very best experience, in elegant and sophisticated surroundings which is backed by a conscience that ensures we do the right thing.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
