In today’s travel landscape, modern travelers seek more than just comfort and luxury, they also value sustainability and a positive impact on the environment. In Nha Trang, Potique Hotel is proudly establishing itself as one of Vietnam’s leading hotels by adopting green hotel standards and embedding sustainable practices into every aspect of its operations and business strategy.
A green oasis in Nha Trang
Blending Indochine-inspired architecture with lush greenery, Potique Hotel offers guests a rejuvenating stay immersed in nature. Verdant spaces stretch from the lobby and corridors to rooftop pools and two impressive vertical gardens, rising nearly 60 meters, purifying the air and mitigating the urban heat island effect.
Green technology for an elevated guest experience
To reduce environmental impact, the hotel has invested in green technologies such as LED lighting, energy-efficient air conditioners and eco-friendly appliances. A cutting-edge RO water filtration system (250 L/H) provides purified drinking water bottled in reusable glass containers on-site, eliminating the use of single-use plastic bottles. Guests enjoy unlimited complimentary drinking water, reinforcing habits that align with environmental responsibility.
Solar-powered water heating systems further reduce electricity consumption and carbon emissions, reflecting Potique hotel’s commitment to sustainability and lowering its environmental footprint.

Potique adopts waste segregation at source, encourages recycling and minimizes plastic waste. Wastewater is treated with advanced technology before being released, protecting the marine ecosystem and aligning with national green hotel certification standards. Regular environmental monitoring is conducted in collaboration with trusted partners.
Partnering for sustainable services
Beyond internal efforts, Potique collaborates with a certified green laundry provider using high-quality Diversey cleaning products and advanced equipment from the U.S., Germany, Denmark and Italy.
