For us, sustainability goes far beyond mere environmental protection. We are convinced that true sustainability rests on the fundamental pillars: Environmental compatibility, social responsibility and economic sustainability.
Greensign certification
The GreenSign sustainability certification is awarded by the GreenSign Institut GmbH from Berlin. It is a certification catalog recognized by the world-renowned Global Sustainable Tourism Council for determining the level of sustainability of a hotel. The certification is divided into five levels, which indicate how many of the certification criteria a hotel fulfills. To obtain GreenSign certification, a hotel must first complete the comprehensive catalog of requirements. This contains more than 100 criteria, which are divided into eight core areas. In addition to ecological sustainability, social, cultural and economic aspects are also covered.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY
For us, sustainability begins with a respectful approach to our environment. The goal is clear: minimize our environmental footprint.

LED lamps – Wherever possible.
The cleaning – We use only the TANA greencare products. These are cradle to cradle certified, carry the EU Ecolabel and are made from plant resources
Social responsibility
For us, sustainability also means acting in a socially responsible manner. We promote fair working conditions, diversity and local initiatives. Our cooperation with Perspektive Andernachan organization that supports people without work or training, is an example of this. Together with the “Edible City” initiative, they sell sustainable plant towers that are manufactured in a workshop for the disabled. By purchasing these towers, we promote inclusion and strengthen the community.
In addition, we provide our guests in public areas and on departure free of charge EARTH Water free of charge. 100% of the net profit from its sale goes towards sustainable water projects to give people around the world access to clean drinking water. Every time you use it, you are helping to change lives and shape a sustainable future.
Economic sustainability
Long-term economic success is a key to sustainability. We rely on sound economic planning and efficient use of resources to be successful not only today but also in the future. This means investing wisely, minimizing our operating costs while ensuring the highest quality and service for our guests. We are convinced that economic stability and sustainability can go hand in hand.
