One of Ho Chi Minh City's most well known hotels the Caravelle is undergoing an extensive 'green' retrofit in a bid to becoming a leading proponent in sustainability.

Initiatives include:

Installation of wastewater plant for recycling from air-con cooling towers and sanitary units

Changing over to a hybrid heat pump/solar panel system from its diesel fired hot water boiler

Replacement of air cons and controllers in all guest room to more modern efficient technology

Hiring a dedicated environmental management team member to oversee long term green initiatives

All in all the hotel is proving that age does not matter then looking at sustainable environmental programs.
