Go green- go eco-friendly! Yes, if this catch line seems to be the latest mantra in your life, it’s high time you cast a glance at the relaxing green hotel, Burgess Hill Premier Inn. With the world finally understanding the effects of pollution, holidaying in this West Sussex’s green hotel is like winning a lottery.

The Burgess Hill Premier Inn, the leading hotel and restaurant in West Sussex, is all set to come out with its green hotel and low carbon restaurant this year. The award winning Premier Inn is UK’s biggest and the fastest growing hotel brand with over 580 budget hotels and more than 40,000 rooms.

Premier Inn represents the latest evolution in environment-friendly budget hotels following Whitbread’s pioneering green hotel pilot in Tamworth, Staffordshire - the UK’s first green budget hotel which opened its doors to guests in December 2008. The eco-friendly hotel is committed to offer its guests good quality rooms, comfortable surroundings and friendly service, which is unique amongst Britain’s leading hotel chains. 

The 60-bedroom Premier Inn at Burgess Hill, is due to open in Autumn 2010. It will adopt the best-performing green technologies trialed in Tamworth to deliver 70% carbon and 60% water savings.

Burges Hill’s wise grouping of hi-tech environmental features and higher construction method are something to cheer about. Reports suggest that the hotel at Burgess Hill will be built using timber frame from sustainable sourced wood.  Naturally, Timber frame is considered to have the lowest carbon content of any commercially available building material and its friendly design allows high levels of insulation to achieve maximum energy efficiency. 

The eco-friendly developments of the Burges Hills that are on the cards:

- Rainwater harvesting and grey water recycling providing 100% of the hotel’s toilet water use and saving 20% of the hotel’s entire water use.
- Ground-source heat pumps using the earth’s natural energy to provide cold and hot water
- Low-flow showerheads delivering the feel and effect of a powerful shower without the associated water loss
- Heat-recovery shower systems capturing and reusing energy used by the boilers
- Automated light controls with intelligent sensors turning lights off when not in use.
- High-efficiency thermal insulation
