The Millennium Plaza Dubai, a luxury accommodation located along Sheikh Zayed Road, was in near complete darkness for a solid hour on Saturday, as the property marked Earth Hour, the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment.
The property joined other hotels and establishments in the UAE and across the globe in celebrating the annual energy conservation movement by switching off the main building exterior lighting, dimming of the interior lobby and reception lighting and turning off of other non-essential electronics throughout the hotel from 8:30pm to 9:30pm.
In addition, activities were organised including a cake cutting and a candle lighting ceremony held at the hotel’s lobby where hotel guests also participated. The candles were formed in the shape of the 60 + logo representing the 60 minutes of Earth Hour.
Nemo Acimovic, General Manager of Millennium Plaza Dubai, said: “By taking part in this movement, we are demonstrating our commitment to protect the environment for our and future generations. This environmental responsibility is part of our continued effort to conduct business in a sustainable manner. We are also grateful to our guests who actively participated in this global conservation effort.”
