Sustainability
At Hotel Congress, we have been implementing green initiatives and forging new partnerships to further our sustainability efforts. Our partners include UA Compost Cats, Mrs. Green’s World, Ecoblue, Clean the World, Refresh Glass, One Less Straw, and the many individuals who have been and continue to be a part of making Hotel Congress and the Tucson community a leader in green efforts. Hotel Congress is also a member of the Tucson Emerging 2030 District, a membership organization consisting of real estate owners, managers, developers, industry professionals and community stakeholders who work towards substantially reducing the environmental impact of building construction & operations while contributing to Tucson’s re-surging economy.
