SUSTAINABILITY AT OLD EDWARDS INN
CARING FOR OUR STORIED SETTING

Committed to sustainable hospitality, Old Edwards Inn and Spa integrates organic culinary and spa experiences with energy-efficient practices. As North Carolina’s first hospitality provider awarded the NC Green Travel Award, it earned the highest rating—Three Dogwood Blossoms with Cardinal—for recycling excellence, energy conservation, and environmental stewardship.

PAYING IT FORWARD
We actively encourage guests to participate in sustainability efforts through posted literature and empower our dedicated internal Green Team to drive continuous improvement. Our staff regularly researches and purchases from environmentally responsible companies, and we've conducted energy assessments with Waste Reduction Partners to further reduce our impact. Additionally, a partnership with Western Carolina University's Natural Resource Conservation and Management Program facilitated innovative student-led research, identifying fresh approaches to green hospitality.
