The Slieve Donard Resort and Spa, which is owned by Hastings Hotels, made the move to Phoenix Natural Gas following a £1.1million investment which also included a new kitchen, a redesign of the Drawing Room as well as the upgrading of 16 of the hotel's guest bedrooms.
Michael Weston, General Manager at the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa said: "We are committed to conducting our business in a way that ensures environmental sustainability for future generations. This made making the move to natural gas, which produces less carbon than any other fossil fuel, a priority for us as soon as it became available in the area.

"As well as the environmental savings, connecting to natural gas has allowed us to install new Combined Heating and Power units which allows us to convert any surplus gas into electricity which is further reducing our carbon emissions and reducing our overall electricity costs. All of which is achieved without any compromise to the comfort, standard and enjoyment of our guests."
Olly Mars, Industrial & Commercial Sales Manager at Phoenix Natural Gas is delighted with the number of businesses making the switch to natural gas as a result of the network extension, he said: "We are excited to be working with clients like the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa to support them in their ambitions to operate with an energy efficiency focus and to provide an effective, reliable and lower carbon heating solution for their business."
