Stay and hold meetings with environmental awareness

For us, sustainability means taking responsibility without sacrifice. For a successful and livable future, we rely today on warm hospitality and a strong regional connection. According to the three pillars of sustainability, we pay attention to ecological and economic criteria such as purchasing climate-friendly products and careful use of resources. We fulfill our social commitment, among other things, through fair dealings with our partners and employees.

Smart Hotel Supply

In addition to sustainability, digitalization is one of the current major topics in the hotel industry. We are therefore all the more pleased to be part of the research and development project "Smart Hotel Supply." In cooperation with Regionalmanagement Nordhessen GmbH, the University of Kassel, the energy supplier EAM, as well as the companies Betterspace and EMD, we aim to reduce our costs and the energy demand of our establishment by up to 20 percent. To achieve this, we are increasingly relying on renewable energy and innovative measurement and analysis methods.
