Toledo Amman Hotel is situated in the heart of Amman and has received the Green Key award in the beginning of 2015. In only a few months, this Green Key ‘newbie’ has done an incredible job to make their business a responsible one.

During the renovation of the hotel they implemented a series of innovative energy and water saving tools and techniques. A listing of their efforts shows how engaged this hotel is to be more sustainable.
