Besides the most expected eco-friendly practices, such as a towel-reuse program and sheet re-use program, Bishop’s Lodge offers a great variety of green hotel programs in support of our high desert community were water is such a precious resource. Bishop’s Lodge has an on-property water reclamation system filter and recycles all water at Bishop’s Lodge. The resulting gray water is used to water gardens and landscaping. As the water filters through the soil on its way to ground and subterranean water sources, it is cleaned. No fertilizers or pesticides are used on the landscaping to avoid contaminating the well source.

The use of alternative forms of energy is highly-emphasized at our eco-friendly, Santa Fe resort. We use low-flow toilets, shower heads and faucets and our kitchen stoves and ovens are fuelled with natural gas. Our ShaNah Spa & Wellness Center features a water-conserving Xeric garden that is based on sound horticultural practices.

Harsh chemicals and pesticides are avoided at Bishop’s Lodge. Las Fuentes Restaurant designs their menu around fresh, organic cuisine. This Santa Fe resort restaurant also supports local farms and their produce is procured from the Bishop Lodge fruit trees. Additionally, Bishop’s Lodge housekeeping service avoids using perfumed or scented laundry supplies, carpet cleaners, cleaning supplies or air fresheners.

Our Green weddings focus on utilizing local organic menus, preferred eco-friendly florist specializing in local flowers and recycling.
