Giving back

Banyan Tree Puebla operates under the wider Banyan Tree Group’s Brand for Good framework, which focuses on two key principles: Embracing the Environment and Empowering People. While there is no standalone sustainability policy specific to the Puebla property publicly available, it follows the group’s well-established environmental and social commitments.

Key areas of focus include:

  • Energy Efficiency and Responsible Design: Emphasis on low-impact building systems, energy conservation, and the use of locally sourced materials that reflect traditional architecture.

  • Resource Management: Ongoing efforts to reduce water usage, limit single-use plastics, manage chemical use responsibly and minimise overall environmental impact.

  • Waste Reduction: Structured waste separation, composting in some properties, and partnerships with local recycling initiatives where possible.

  • Community Engagement: Supporting local communities through artisan collaborations, cultural preservation and sourcing from regional farmers, chefs and craftspeople.

  • Monitoring and Reporting: The group tracks environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, with annual reporting and alignment with international sustainability benchmarks.

While the Puebla property doesn’t publish its own independent report, it operates in line with Banyan Tree’s broader sustainability goals, rooted in responsible travel, cultural integrity and long-term community impact.

Are children welcome?

Yes, children are welcome at Banyan Tree Puebla.

While the hotel has a refined, design-forward atmosphere, it accommodates families and offers a welcoming environment for children. Some suites provide ample space for families, and the rooftop pool can be enjoyed by guests of all ages. That said, the property does not heavily focus on child-specific amenities – so it’s best suited to families with older children or those seeking a quieter, culturally rich stay.

Cots or extra beds can typically be arranged on request.

Why we love Banyan Tree

There are some wonderful aspects of this hotel that are truly Mexican, but do be sure to eat at Saffran. This restaurant serves some of the best Southeast Asian food in Central America!
