Sustainability has always been a priority for our team in our serviced apartments in Reading. We have always strived to reduce our impact on our surroundings and reduce waste & energy usage without impacting the quality and comfort of our guest stay. We are delighted to have been awarded a Bronze certification from Green Tourism, an internationally recognised body which awards the sustainability efforts of hospitality businesses. This certification has given us professional insight into our processes and tips for improving our score. Our serviced apartments in Reading have lots of sustainability initiatives for guests to enjoy. To get involved, book your stay on our website.

Explore Reading by Bike
Despite being one of the biggest and most populated towns in the UK, Reading is surprisingly easy to navigate. Many of the popular attractions, shopping areas and business districts are within walking distance of our accommodation in Reading. You can get around by public transport quite easily by bus, a well-connected and cheap option. If you want to explore Reading and get some exercise in, PREMIER SUITES Reading have a bike hire service. We have six bikes, available on a first come first served basis from our serviced apartments, free of charge for guests and staff. We also have bike racks in the garage area if you’re travelling with your own.
Enjoy Our Courtyard
If you love being in nature but can’t find the time to visit a local park, take advantage of the courtyard in PREMIER SUITES Reading. It fills the property with natural light, allowing the sun to brighten up the balconies and suite entrances. If time allows, we encourage our guests to sit and relax in our lovely outdoor space, work in the sun, take calls or simply enjoy a coveted sunny day in Reading. On the edge of the courtyard, we have a very exciting project. Our Home Grown Greens are thriving. We have a variety of cooking herbs, free to use for our guests in the suite’s fully-equipped kitchens. Visit the PS Life website for inspiration for healthy recipes using our organic herbs.
Waste in PREMIER SUITES Reading
While our accommodation in Reading does not have a restaurant, we do have a lot of food in the property. Guests order grocery deliveries and sometimes stock their in-suite fridges with food and drink they cannot use. We support the Trussell Trust food bank to combat food waste. We have a food collection box in reception where our guests donate surplus food and drink. We also offer supplies to New Beginnings Reading, a homeless charity helping our town’s most vulnerable. We use Simply Waste Solutions to ensure none of the rubbish from our suites ends up in landfill. Guests don’t need to separate plastics, cardboard, or glass as it’s recycled when it gets to the depot.
Reading Walks Festival
One of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to forsake mechanical transport and explore on two feet. Reading Walks Festival celebrates its inaugural event from 10th to 14th of May. They are highlighting over 40 walks over the five days of the festival, bringing alive the stories, heritage and landscapes of Reading and the surrounding countryside. PREMIER SUITES Reading are ideal walking festival accommodation offering plenty of space to get yourself ready for a day of exploring or recovery after a great walk. If you don’t make it to the festival, our team will be happy to recommend some fantastic walks in the area. Leave your car at home and explore Reading by bike or on foot, we promise you’ll find some hidden gems.
