Our Sustainability Initiatives

We are proud to implement a variety of actions aimed at reducing our environmental impact:

Recycling Efforts: Cardboard packaging, newspapers, magazines, glass, cans, plastic bottles, and used light bulbs and batteries are returned to our suppliers or collected for recycling.

Room Recycling Bins: All rooms are equipped with bin dividers for recycling and non-recycling waste.

Food Waste Management: All food waste is collected for composting, contributing to sustainable waste practices.

Commitment to Reducing Landfill Waste: We are dedicated to further reducing waste sent to landfill.

Low Energy Lighting:We are gradually replacing traditional light bulbs in the hotel with low-energy LED versions and use sensor lights where possible.

Energy Monitoring System: We have implemented an energy usage monitoring system to track and reduce consumption.

Annual Equipment Maintenance: All heating, hot water, refrigeration, and electrical equipment is serviced and maintained annually to ensure the most economical and efficient use of power.

Water Station: We provide water refill station for guests to refill their own bottles and offer reusable bottles in guest bedrooms.

Digital Communication: All external staff communication is conducted via email to reduce paper consumption.

Support for Local Tourism: We actively support local tourism by providing maps at reception that highlight nearby attractions.
