Short lists drawn from the selection, each around a single question: what the walls are made of, what comes out of the tap, what you breathe while you sleep.

Low-emitting materials · Building certification
Honest materials
Hotels that have said something about what they were built with; one meets our materials criterion in full.

Water, considered
Filtered at the tap or tested at the source: stays where the water has been thought about.
In-room air purifier · Filtered fresh air
Filtered air
Purifiers in the room or better filters on the fresh air, and what each hotel has and hasn’t said.
Garden or organic produce

Breakfast from the farm outside the window, and kitchens that buy organic where they can.

Hotels that have said how they clean, though none has yet said enough to meet our criterion.
