The KOHO offers truly sustainable solutions that benefit both the environment and the local communities. We exercise our commitment to sustainability through the policies, procedures, and programs at our hotels. Join us in our journey towards a more sustainable future, and a more beautiful world.
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS

Minimising Plastic Use
