Rooftop honeybees
The hotel’s rooftop is abuzz with four honeybee hives and their residents. The bees enhance the hotel’s culinary program along with its interior courtyard garden - already providing fresh herbs and flowers such as edible pansies and spices - along with the plants, trees and flowers in the surrounding Georgetown neighborhood.
As part of the hotel’s environmental stewardship program, Fairmont Washington D.C., Georgetown's beekeepers retrieve and harvest about 150 pounds of honey each year. Honey harvested from the Fairmont’s Beehives, are used in soups, salad dressings, pastries, ice cream and our signature Bee-tini Cocktail.
Our sustainable engagements

In 2017, we began a Food Waste initiative. All food and beverage outlets and kitchens now separate food. It is picked up three times weekly for composting.
In 2025, we installed rooftop solar panels to the hotel's rooftop.This initiative reduces reliance on non-renewable energy sources and minimizes the hotel's carbon footprint, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
