We have two Electric Vehicle Chargers located in our carpark. Guests wishing to avail can download the app ‘Easygo’ to use & pay for the charger. Charged at 24c per Kilo Watt Hour. Estimate of cost: 4 hours to charge a Nissan Leaf to 80% would cost approx. €10. ACTIVE 24 FITNESS & LEISURE Our gym was the first in Galway to open 24 hours. So whether you are a night owl or an early bird join us for a quick workout, a swim in our 20m pool or relax in our Jacuzzi, sauna or steam room. Our latest initiative is that we will offset the impact of any corporate guests overnight stay or meeting room booking. We have calculated that an overnight corporate guest generates 2.66KG of CO2, a fully grown tree would offset 21KG per annum. Based on the customer journey we are estimating that the average meeting delegate would generate approx. 1.1KG of CO2. This is with a light lunch and use of the meeting rooms) The cost of planting a tree with “Hometree” is €4.00 so each overnight corporate guest we are going to allocate .50c from the sales and marketing budget to the end of the year, 21c for each conference delegate and each overnight conference delegate we will take .71c. ) We are partnering with environmental charity “Hometree” a registered charity that plants native Irish trees and who’s aim it is to conserve permanent native woodland in Ireland, encouraging land regeneration and biodiversity through afforestation, restoration, and education who will plant trees to offset this impact.
