Our Twelve Commitments

As a member of Relais & Châteaux, Castle Hill Inn is part of a global community committed to preserving the world’s hospitality traditions, protecting biodiversity, and creating a more sustainable future through thoughtful hospitality.

Relais & Châteaux’s 12 Commitments to Sustainability reflect the association’s dedication to building a more respectful relationship between people, culture, cuisine, and the natural world. These commitments focus on three core missions:

Preserve the world’s hospitality and culinary traditions

Relais & Châteaux properties are committed to celebrating the cultural, culinary, and natural character of the places they call home, including preserving local heritage, championing the people who create it, and sharing it at the table with anyone interested in experiencing it.

Contribute to the protection and development of biodiversity

It is the landscapes and oceans that surround each property that make them special, so member properties are dedicated to supporting the long-term health of the planet, specifically restoring ecosystems, sourcing with intention, eliminating waste, and working toward full decarbonization by 2040.

Take daily action for a more humane world

Relais & Châteaux members are committed to the people inside and around them – investing in their teams, lifting local communities, reducing inequality, and ensuring that every interaction, whether between a guest and a chef or a manager and a new hire, is rooted in respect, excellence, and a genuine belief that hospitality done right changes lives.

Continuing the Commitment

Through its membership in Relais & Châteaux, Castle Hill Inn shares this ongoing commitment to thoughtful hospitality, a strong sense of place, and responsible stewardship of the natural and cultural surroundings that make each destination unique.
