We are passionate about promoting active, social and meaningful lives to enhance health and wellbeing for our guests, employees and communities we serve.
Our Focus
From design to daily operations, we create spaces and initiatives that support physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Design and Technology
Each property has air filtration systems with real-time monitoring that maintain optimal air quality, temperature and humidity – critical factors for improved sleep and mental clarity. Lab rooms in each hotel location collect advanced data to identify improvements.
Biophilic Spaces
Biophilic design nurtures our innate connection to nature. Research has linked natural elements in the built environment to reduced stress, enhanced creativity and boosted mood. Our properties incorporate abundant greenery, exposed wood and natural materials throughout interior spaces.
Purposeful Partnerships
Working with carefully selected suppliers, we use non-toxic cleaning products and low-VOC paints, ensuring our properties provide a low-chemical atmosphere. We also provide premium guest toiletry products that are 100% plastic and palm oil free.
For The Health of our Biosphere
Bees are crucial to biodiversity and global food production, pollinating the majority of flowering plants and nearly a third of the crops we eat.
Second Nature Chiswick is home to around 75,000 bees and in 2023, our roof-top hives produced 360 jars of honey for the London Bee Company – benefiting both the environment and our local economy.
Wellness at Second Nature
We make health and well-being seamless for our guests by embedding thoughtful design and services into every stay.
Rooms include kitchen facilities and our onsite Winnie’s Café offers plant-based, locally sourced dining options.
Our Hometel Club offers late check-outs and a mattress menu for optimal sleep.
Stay active with our Peloton and gym facilities. Or take your dog for a walk…because they can stay too!
Our approach prioritises local businesses and celebrates the diverse voices of our cities. Second Nature Southampton engages with the community through youth development workshops and classes, and fundraising efforts for charities. Second Nature Chiswick serves as a hub for connection, hosting knitting workshops, network lunches, and creative sessions like mindful calligraphy. We also provide a platform for local entrepreneurs through our Small Business Hive.
As a Lamington team, we fundraise and volunteer to support organisations aligned with our values of sustainability and social responsibility to deliver life-changing impact.
Employee Wellbeing
Our workplaces empower employees to feel valued, motivated and inspired to deliver exceptional work and service.
At Lamington Group, we are committed to creating a positive and inspiring workplace where employees can thrive, grow, and reach their full potential. Providing our teams with the training, resources, and opportunities they need is central to this commitment.
Team Planet is our dedicated employee sustainability initiative, designed to engage and empower staff to make more sustainable choices. Every month, we host Team Planet sessions across HQ and Second Nature locations, covering different sustainability topics and encouraging collaboration. We believe in creating an environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and inspired to deliver exceptional work and service.
