Hotel de la Coupole Sapa Celebrates Green Achievements in Responsible Hospitality
Hotel de la Coupole Sapa - MGallery Collection has been awarded its inaugural Green Globe certification. The certification reinforces the hotel's vision of delivering memorable stays while preserving the natural beauty, cultural richness, and local communities that make Sa Pa one of Vietnam's most captivating destinations.
"Receiving Green Globe certification is a proud milestone, but what makes me prouder is the collective effort behind it - a daily commitment to protect what makes Sa Pa extraordinary: its mountains, its culture, and most importantly, our people. For us, every choice we make is an effort to keep this place just as remarkable for the guests who visit tomorrow," said Linh Nguyen, the hotel's Sustainability Champion.
Guided by a commitment to responsible luxury, Hotel de la Coupole Sapa - MGallery Collection continues to embed sustainability throughout the guest experience. The hotel’s green initiatives showcase its dedication to protecting the environment, celebrating local culture, and creating a positive impact for its community.
At the heart of the hotel's sustainability journey is a commitment to supporting the local community and preserving Sa Pa's rich cultural heritage. More than 100 food ingredients are sourced from local producers within a 160-kilometre radius, allowing guests to experience authentic regional flavours while supporting local farmers and suppliers. At Nuages Spa, traditional Red Dao herbal products are featured in signature wellness treatments, connecting guests with indigenous traditions while creating opportunities for local artisans.
The hotel also embraces circular practices to reduce food waste through creative initiatives. Its signature zero-waste lemon cake demonstrates how thoughtful innovation can enhance both sustainability and the guest experience.
Environmental stewardship is equally embedded throughout the property. In 2025, Hotel de la Coupole reduced its energy consumption by 15% compared to the previous year through implementation of a combination of high-performance roofing materials that improve thermal insulation and smart building technologies including a Building Management System (BMS), motion sensors, and timer-controlled lighting that optimise energy use. The hotel's swimming pool also operates using a salt electrolysis system eliminating the need for conventional industrial chlorine dosing. Chemical usage is reduced while excellent water quality is maintained, providing guests with a more natural and enjoyable swimming experience.
People remain central to the hotel's sustainability commitments. Hotel de la Coupole maintains a balanced workforce with approximately equal representation of men and women, including at the Head of Department level. Throughout the year, employees actively engage in community outreach and sustainability initiatives. For example, staff members voluntarily participate in the Blue Dragon Walk in support of the Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation - an organization devoted to rescuing vulnerable young people from dangers such as human trafficking and homelessness.
