Our Green Initiatives

At The Ryder, we are committed to operating in a way that contributes to a sustainable future for our planet while creating heartfelt experiences for our guests and meaningful opportunities for our team members.

Making a Difference

A few ways The Ryder is environmentally friendly:

  • Reusable glass water bottles are available in all rooms and suites for guests to fill at The Nook
  • Refillable bathroom amenities from Hunter Amenities: Zenology in all rooms and suites to cut down on plastic waste from single-use amenities
  • Replacement of guests’ towels and sheets every third day or upon request, keeping our laundry’s use to a minimum
  • Eliminating the use of single-use plastics by using paper and agave straws throughout the property
  • To-go containers are made from recycled cardboard and reusable material
  • Exclusively offering boxed water
  • Locally sourced seafood and recycling of oyster shells to promote healthy oyster reefs
  • Bicycles are available for guest use to explore the bustling downtown Charleston area
