At Hotel X Toronto, we are proud to be a LEED Silver certified building, committed to sustainability through innovative design and best practices. Our facility features a range of eco-friendly initiatives, including a comprehensive recycling program, a food composting system, and a “Buy Local Products” program to support the Ontario economy. With six acres of gardens, green roofs, rainwater irrigation, and Tesla Supercharger stations, we strive to create a superior indoor environment while minimizing our carbon footprint and enhancing the natural landscape around us.
Sustainability
Expect the Extraordinary
And it’s about our planet, too
Green Initiatives
We love nature, and that is clearly expressed by the design of the hotel and even the art we have selected. At Hotel X Toronto, we are located beside the lakefront on 192 acres of city parkland, and we are deeply committed to preserving our beautiful country and planet. 
Hotel X Toronto is a LEED Silver certified building.
Major sustainability features of the facility include:
- Best in Class Construction Practices: The specifications and contracts will mandate compliance with the erosion control plan, construction waste management plan, indoor air quality management during construction and prior to occupancy plan, and commissioning plan.
- Indoor Environmental Quality
- Exceptional thermal comfort and control and careful selection of building materials will create a superior indoor environment.
- Recycling: Office, guestrooms, meetings and events spaces adhere to a recycling program following the directives of the Recycling council of Ontario.
- Food and Waste Disposal: Hotel X Toronto has implemented a food composting program along with a garbage compression program to minimize transportation of waste. This initiative helps us reduce not only volume of garbage generated but also limits the carbon emissions created during transportation of disposed items.
- Food Sourcing: Our Food and Beverage operator adheres to a “Buy Local Products” program that promotes Ontario grown produce and incentivizes the local economy.
Collection of Rainwater for Irrigation
- Hotel X Toronto occupies 9 acres of Land and features 6 acres of gardens and outdoor spaces. All rain water falling on property is collected in a underground cistern and the gray water is used for irrigating green spaces.
- Green Roofs: You will find six green roofs atop our building. These green roofs help reduce the reflective heat radiation from the building. The green roofs use climate appropriate plants and lichens indigenous to Ontario.
- Parks and Gardens: We created six acres of parks and gardens in an area previously occupied by asphalt parking lots. Over 200 trees were integrated in the design of our gardens along with grass areas and perennial grasses to recreate the original landscape of the location.
- Tesla Supercharger Stations: We have a total of 23 Tesla Supercharger stations in the underground parking garage at Hotel X Toronto - 12 Tesla Superchargers (level 3 charging), 5 Tesla Wall Connectors (Level 2 charging), and 6 J1772 Universal Wall Connectors (Level 2 charging).

Energy Efficiency
The design is at least 29% more efficient than the MNECB-1997 reference building. Energy efficiency features include:
- High performance building envelope systems
- Central Enthalpy wheel on AHU unit supplying fresh air to Hotel tower
- VFD on heating and cooling pumps, VFD for supply and return fan on most AHUs
- Airside economizer on air handling units.
- Highly efficient lighting systems and controls
- On-site renewable energy systems
our beehive
At Hotel X Toronto, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Through a valued partnership with Toronto Bee Rescue, we proudly host four beehives on our rooftop, home to 80,000 to 320,000 bees. This initiative not only supports local biodiversity but also produces 120-400 pounds of honey each year, helping to nurture ecosystems within a 5-kilometer radius through natural pollination. We're dedicated to fostering a greener future, one hive at a time.
