At Living Place Hotel, sustainability isn’t a buzzword. It’s a deliberate, measurable, and shared commitment that shapes our everyday choices. Because the future of hospitality must be in harmony with the world that welcomes us.
Our hotel has proudly earned the DCA ESG Certification in line with the D&C:2023 Standard, standing as a beacon of mindful hospitality. This achievement spans five core pillars of sustainability: human rights and labor conditions, health and safety, guest management, local community development, and cybersecurity.
It’s a journey that speaks to our genuine dedication to responsible, high-quality hospitality—one that resonates with the expectations of today’s conscious traveler.
Our ESG Commitment: People, Places, and the Future
At our hotel, hospitality is more than a warm welcome. It’s an act of care—for people, for the environment, and for the cultural and social fabric that surrounds us.
This philosophy fuels our commitment to ESG—Environmental, Social, and Governance principles. It’s a concrete path that informs our everyday decisions and guides the long-term growth of our Group.
