Dakota Edinburgh Announces Their Latest Sustainability Effort With The Installation Of A New Solar Panelled Roof

Dakota Edinburgh has announced their latest sustainability effort with the reveal of a new solar panelled roof, with 207 panels now installed atop the luxury boutique hotel.

In a bid to become a more sustainable destination, Dakota Edinburgh’s solar panels will provide renewable energy for the entire property, based in the picturesque South Queensferry – which boasts 130 bedrooms, a Bar and Grill, and several meeting rooms and private dining spaces.

The Dakota Hotels group have committed to becoming more sustainably accountable, with fundamental goals of prioritizing environmental responsibility and promoting positive change. This installation follows in the footsteps of sister property Dakota Eurocentral; in 2022, Eurocentral added 400 solar panels to the roof, and in

2021, the hotel appointed electric charging points to encourage conscious travel.

Eve McIntyre, Energy Efficiency Manager for Dakota Hotels commented: “Installing solar panels is an extremely positive step for Dakota; we’re incredibly excited about our journey towards a more ecoconscious future. This is just the beginning; this project brings us one step closer to our environmental goals.”

She added: “We strive to be sustainable within our practices inside the hotels, so why not echo this outside, too? This project aligns perfectly with our goal of creating a culture that prioritizes environmental responsibility. Our team members and guests have embraced this initiative with enthusiasm, and we look forward to the next stages in our sustainability journey.”

Take everything you know about kebabs – and forget it. Because there’s a new kebab in town, and it’s found at Der Berliner. Their authentic German kebabs are a million miles from the junk food variety.

Premium meats, fresh salad and veg, fluffy hot breads baked in store and all put together exactly to your liking. There’s no huge vat of salad drowned in oil – instead it’s all crisp, light and fresh elements put together as you choose.

Der Berliner manager CarolAnn Cassidy said: “This is a new concept for the city and it’s one people seem to be really embracing.

“We opened just at New Year as a soft launch and have been tweaking everything about our products, our food and our venue to get it absolutely right since then.

“That’s where we are now and we want to show people how good kebabs can be – this is healthy, nutritious food which is the mind-blowing thing for most as it’s the exact opposite of the usual image of a kebab here.

“We are really proud of our food and the response from people so far has been incredible.”

Der Berliner is for EVERYONE. It is modern, forward thinking, creative, energetic, cosmopolitan, inclusive. Celebrating all that Berlin offers from food to nightlife, friends to great music.

Think the posh nosh of takeaway food, with high-end, locally sourced lamb, beef and chicken, plus quality vegetarian and vegan options.

Der Berliner is serving up these epic kebabs alongside a stunning selection of German beers, plus cocktails and soft drinks.
