A BETTER WORLD STARTS HERE

Travel connects us to the world.

That’s why it’s so important to us to make sure we’re taking care of it.

We are committed to eliminating single-use plastics from your experience. As part of this commitment and to help conserve the planet’s resources, we have provided a water filter tap in each room. Choose a reusable bottle and help us eliminate single-use plastics from your experience.

We have also made other planet-friendly changes to your room. To save energy and water, sheets are customarily changed after each stay. Place the bed linen card on the bed if you would like us to change the sheets. If you would like the towels replaced, please leave them on the bathroom floor.

These small changes make a big difference in minimizing our footprint.

Live local, love global.

Green Key is a voluntary eco-certification programme for hotels, hostels, campsites, holiday parks, small accommodations as well as conference centres, attractions and restaurants.  

The Green Key certification is based on compliance with strict internationally recognised criteria in the areas of environmental management (water, energy, waste, cleaning, etc.) and sustainability education (staff, guests, suppliers, etc.).  

Compliance with the criteria is confirmed through a rigorous application process and third-party verified after regular on-site audits. The certification is valid for one year at a time.  

Currently (May 2023), there are more than 4,000 establishments in 60 countries certified with the Green Key.  

Green Key is endorsed by various institutional partners, international hotel chain and tour operator partners and cooperating with a range of web partners.   

The Green Key programme is managed by the international charity, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and its national member organisations.
