The iconic Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, the Forbes 5-Star hotel, renowned for its luxury accommodations and commitment to environmental sustainability, has partnered with San Francisco-based Epic Cleantec (“Epic”) to implement a groundbreaking onsite water reuse system. This partnership aligns with the hotel’s ongoing efforts to conserve water and reduce its environmental footprint. Alagem Capital, a leading real estate development group and owner of the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, played a key role in the initiative.
Epic’s OneWater™ system will recycle 438,000 gallons of water annually from the hotel for reuse in landscape irrigation, helping to beautify the hotel’s garden-styled restaurant, The Rooftop. This advanced solution not only addresses the region’s water scarcity challenges but also sets a new standard for sustainable luxury hospitality.
“As California faces historic drought conditions, it’s important to see visionary partners like Alagem Capital taking bold steps to promote water conservation in the built environment,” said Aaron Tartakovsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Epic Cleantec. “We’re excited to partner with such a well-respected hospitality brand, demonstrating how our water reuse technology can play a key role in elevating sustainability as a visible and impactful feature.”
Voted the #1 Best Hotel in Los Angeles by Travel + Leisure readers, the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills’ implementation of Epic’s OneWater system showcases how hospitality and sustainability can seamlessly coexist.
“As the first luxury hotel in California to implement the OneWater system, the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills is proud to be a pioneering force in sustainable hospitality,” said David Alagem, Vice President of Lifestyle, Branding, and Technology at Alagem Capital. “This initiative not only reaffirms our commitment to environmental stewardship, but also positions us as a leader in sustainable luxury within Beverly Hills and across the Los Angeles region. By setting this new standard, we’re inspiring other hotels to follow suit and contribute to a more sustainable future.”
Shower, Laundry Water Treated
Epic’s OneWater system captures and treats greywater from showers and laundry, purifying it to exceptionally high standards for reuse. Recognized by TIME as one of the Best Inventions of 2022 and Fast Company as a World-Changing Idea in 2023, this technology can reuse up to 95% of a building’s water, significantly lowering water and wastewater bills while preserving regional water supplies.
