On November 15, the first Andaz hotel will open in London; Hyatt’s new luxury, green hotel brand. The five-star hopeful will feature health-food mini-bars, water-efficient toilets, a computer controlled boiler which reduces fuel use by 25 percent, intelligent lighting systems in guest rooms, eco printers and infra -red detection in public toilet lighting.

The Andaz Liverpool Street in London’s East End, which is a redevelopment of the Great Eastern hotel rather than an all new construction, is also implementing a fair trade policy for purchasing food, and other food and drink will be sourced locally.
