The Atlantic Hotel Joins the Hoteliers’ Charter

This significant step aligns with the Charter’s principles of prioritising colleagues’ wellness and career development at the core of hotel operations.

The Hoteliers’ Charter unites hotels across the country in a shared mission to develop their team members through comprehensive training, apprenticeships, coaching, mentoring, and career development programmes. By supporting the Charter, The Atlantic Hotel emphasises its dedication to eradicating low pay, advocating for career growth opportunities, and ensuring access to financial and pension guidance for all employees.

Patrick Burke, Owner of The Atlantic Hotel, explained: “We are proud to have joined the Hoteliers’ Charter. This reflects our fundamental belief that hotels offer fulfilling careers, not just jobs. As a small, family-run luxury hotel, we take immense pride in the highest levels of personal service delivered by our dedicated and talented team. We have always believed in fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for our colleagues. By joining the Charter, we are reaffirming our commitment to their personal and professional growth, ensuring they have access to the tools and opportunities they need.”

Sustainability is another cornerstone of the Hoteliers’ Charter. The Atlantic Hotel is committed to driving sustainable business practices, focusing on reducing, reusing, and recycling. The hotel is on a journey to become a more sustainable business, caring for the environment and giving back to the community. This commitment is backed by its membership of EarthCheck, the world’s leading benchmarking organisation for sustainability in luxury hotels. The Atlantic currently holds EarthCheck Benchmarked Silver Status, one of the first ten hotels in the country to achieve this award.

In addition, The Atlantic Hotel commits to supporting community charities, respecting colleagues’ commitments to charity support and community engagement. Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is The Atlantic’s philanthropic partner, and the hotel looks forward to continuing its support of the incredible work the charity does around the world.

The Atlantic Hotel’s membership of the Hoteliers’ Charter is a testament to its unwavering commitment to excellence in the hospitality industry, both in terms of employee welfare and environmental responsibility. The Atlantic Hotel team looks forward to contributing to the collective efforts of the Charter membership to create a better, more sustainable future for all.
