A Message on Thanksgiving

Published on: November 26, 2024
Dovetale Terrace winter

To our cherished 1 Hotels community,

As we celebrate another Thanksgiving, we feel overwhelming gratitude for the things that truly matter—the heartening progress we’ve made together, quiet moments in nature that inspire our mission, and your gracious support as we continue to grow and evolve. On behalf of the 1 Hotels family, we wish you a happy and heartwarming Thanksgiving.


You’ve been by our side through exciting achievements across our sanctuaries this year:

  • Surfrider’s Ocean Friendly Hotel Certification for 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay’s commitment to reducing plastic waste and making choices to safeguard the ocean
  • BREEAM Certification for 1 Hotel Mayfair, one of the world's leading science-based sustainable building verifications
  • LEED Certifications for 1 Hotel Toronto, 1 Hotel San Francisco, and 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, the most widely recognized green building rating globally
  • 36,000 pounds of food donated to our 25+ local charitable partners
  • 3.1 million pounds recycled
  • 93% average waste diversion for Certified Sustainable Gatherings
  • 7,600 mission-championing events, from Chefs by Nature and Suppers That Sustain Us to Mindful Mixology and local Makers Markets

Most importantly, you continue to remind us that this journey—and the holiday season—is all about treasuring time with our loved ones, uplifting those around us, and admiring nature’s boundless wonder. We look forward to continuing this meaningful progress with you and welcoming 1 Hotels in Seattle, Copenhagen, and Tokyo in 2025. Until then, may you feel inspired to embrace the true beauty of this season and all it brings.

On behalf of the 1 Hotels family, I wish you a happy and heartwarming Thanksgiving.

In gratitude,
Raul Leal
CEO, SH Hotels & Resorts
