There are studies on solid waste management, sustainability and eco-efficiency in hotels, but few analyze the actions and decisions taken by the administrative area. Therefore, this study evaluates the actions implemented for an adequate integrated management of solid waste by 4 and 5 star hotels in Metropolitan Lima. This article describes the regulatory and institutional context of hotels for the management of their solid waste, analyzes the integrated solid waste management actions implemented in these hotels, their impacts and results both inside and outside their facilities. It also describes the changes and challenges caused by the pandemic produced by COVID-19. For this purpose, a bibliographic and normative review is carried out, as well as a qualitative research supported by in-depth interviews with hotel operations managers in Lima. It is verified that the approach to the integrated management of solid waste in the hotel industry is fundamental given the amount of waste generated daily, especially organic waste because of the percentage it represents. In the hotel sector, it was found that there is a lack of internalization of some basic, operational and technical-regulatory knowledge and processes to achieve adequate integrated solid waste management. Although some environmental policies and actions aimed at the management and handling of solid waste are applied, they are not carried out with a comprehensive and integrated approach and can be improved through the implementation of plans and/or strategies for each type of lodging establishment.
