The hotel’s charred-wood exterior and beautiful deck and balcony are care of the Norwegian artisanal producer Kebony. Through a collaboration with Seaform, a harvester of ocean plastics, the hotel has transformed waste into the stunning tiles found in its rooftop bar. Additional eco-friendly materials include recycled fiberglass for insulation and recycled felt for bottles.

Luxury minimalism makes for warm and welcoming yet uncluttered spaces. The four guestrooms each has its own color scheme based on the four elements, with designers Philippe Starck, Ethnicraft, Lagos del Mundo, and many others showcased. A cozy library boasts two Cappellini felt chairs and a Knoll marble coffee table, while a small pop-up shop offers local crafts and artisanal products.

Sustainability Keeping an eye on our Conscious Hotel Principles
Twelve Senses composts food waste and buys locally in bulk to reduce packaging. There are recycling bins located throughout the hotel.
The hotel is proudly run by 100% solar energy. Nest thermostats monitor the rooms when there are no guests to minimize waste. Windows are dual-glazed and walls are sealed to prevent energy loss.
Fixtures are water-efficient. Drinking water comes from a local, alkaline water source. The landscaping requires very little water consumption.
All bread and coffee, and some farm produce, is sourced locally. All bedding, towels, robes, hair products, and body products are made in California.
Twelve Senses welcomes locals to yoga and meditation sessions. The team connects locals with their sustainable builders and shares their sustainable vendors.
The hotel offers yoga, meditation, wellness offerings, surfing lessons, paddleboarding lessons, e-bikes to go into town, and more.
Guests are encouraged to use the local train station, Lyft, and Uber. The hotel also offers e-bikes.
Contractors are invited to eat, drink, and join yoga and mindfulness classes for free. The hotel continues to raise employee pay as much as possible.
Twelve Senses offers tours of the hotel that explain sustainable building practices. The team is happy to share vendor contacts. Sustainability practices are published on the website.
