Greener Hospitality

Making a Difference

A few ways The Ryder is environmentally friendly:

Reusable glass water bottles are available in all rooms and suites for guests to fill at The Nook
Refillable bathroom amenities from Hunter Amenities: Zenology in all rooms and suites to cut down on plastic waste from single-use amenities
Replacement of guests’ towels and sheets every third day or upon request, keeping our laundry’s use to a minimum
Eliminating the use of single-use plastics by using paper and agave straws throughout the property
