The Sheraton Bandung Hotel & Towers (SBHT) has announced that it will observe Earth Hour on 28 March 2015 at 8.30 pm, the seventh year it has done so.

Sheraton Bandung will turn off some non-essential lights around the hotel entrance, lobby, restaurant and other public areas for the hour, and also encourage the hotel guests to participate by requesting them to turn off the lights in their rooms and gather at the Feast Restaurant. To commemorate the event, Feast Restaurant will offer a traditional music performance (kecapi suling).

Sheraton Bandung will also offer 25% discount for the dinner buffet at Feast Restaurant on 28 March while the Toastina Pastry and Coffee House will also offer 25% discount for beverages for guests who bring their own tumblers. The Toastina offer is valid to 31 March 2015.

Earth Hour is a worldwide grassroots movement uniting people to protect the planet, and is organised by the WWF. This year will mark Starwood’s seventh annual participation in Earth Hour, making it one of the largest global companies to make a pronounced global statement with a voluntary hour of darkness. Earth Hour is just one of the many ways Starwood acts in support of its 30/20 by 20 goals, which is the company’s commitment to reduce energy consumption by 30% and water consumption by 20% by 2020 across its entire portfolio.
