Hotel Galena & Riverboat Suites

At our 1856 hotel, we are committed to sustainable tourism for generations to come. That's why we have implemented several eco-friendly initiatives throughout our property, aimed at benefiting you, your friends and family, as well as our precious planet. To minimize our environmental impact, we provide guest rooms with small compostable trash bags made from plant starches, vegetable oils, and fully compostable polymers. These bags contain no plastic or polyethylene, ensuring a greener waste management system. In line with our dedication to supporting local communities, we encourage you to embrace the charm of nearby shops and indulge in local food whenever it's available. By doing so, you contribute to the local economy while reducing carbon emissions associated with transportation. To conserve energy, we have installed energy-saving LED light bulbs throughout our premises. These bulbs not only provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere but also help to lower our overall energy consumption. Staying true to our commitment to sustainability, we also encourage you to explore the surrounding area on foot. Walking not only allows you to experience the beauty of our surroundings but also reduces your carbon footprint during your stay. Water conservation is another priority for us. In order to minimize water usage, we have implemented water flow reducers in our facilities. By using these reducers, we ensure that every drop counts and contribute to preserving this valuable resource. Moreover, we are actively working to reduce single-use plastics. In our showers, you will find convenient soap dispensers, eliminating the need for individual single use plastic containers. By making this small change, we significantly decrease plastic waste and promote a cleaner environment. And finally, we are proud to announce that Hotel Galena will be installing solar panels in spring 2024 - one of the first businesses to do so in the historic district. Thank you for choosing Hotel Galena, where sustainability and comfort coexist harmoniously. Together, we can make a positive impact on our planet, creating a greener future for all.
