The Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera will take place in this year’s Earth Hour on Saturday the 19th of March. If you are a guest of a guest of this five-star Dubrovnik hotel on Saturday and are surprised that all the lights have gone off, don’t be. For an hour, from 8.30pm to 9.30pm all of the lights in public areas of the hotel will be turned off in the Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera in a mark of Earth Hour.

Earth Hour is a worldwide movement for the planet organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The event is held worldwide annually encouraging individuals, communities, households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. towards the end of March, as a symbol for their commitment to the planet.

The Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera will also create special “Earth Hour” cocktails at discounted prices and serve candlelit evening meals. This will be the first time that the hotel has marker this event, as the hotel only opened last autumn, but all of the other properties in the HUP Zagreb group have been marking this special event for the past eight years. The Hotel Astarea in Mlini will also be in darkness for an hour on the 19th of March.
