IHG Hotels & Resorts has chosen East Devon for its first net zero carbon hotel. Designed to operate entirely on renewable and solar energy, the hotel opened it’s door on 11 March and here’s what guests can expect…

The 142-room voco Zeal Exeter Science Park has been designed to help guests truly unwind and feel at ease with the use of neutral tones and contemporary features throughout the guest rooms and public spaces.
 
The hotel’s onsite restaurant and bar, ISCA, embraces locally sourced ingredients, collaborating with regional farms and producers to offer fresh, responsible dining options with ingredients sourced from within a 30 mile radius.
 
Guests staying at the hotel will have access to a mini gym, gardens, a versatile meeting space and 12 EV charging points.
 
Tim Wheeldon, Founding Director, Zeal Hotels, commented:
 
“I am incredibly proud of the team behind the voco Zeal Exeter Science Park, who have worked hard to bring the Zeal Hotels vision to fruition.
 
“By harnessing renewable energy sources, implementing energy-efficient designs, and utilising innovative technology, we have created a space that not only provides comfort and luxury but also prioritises environmental responsibility. We are looking forward to sharing our knowledge with others to help accelerate the net zero carbon process across the sector.”
