Our hotel is Green Key GOLD certified: The international quality mark for sustainable businesses
Green Key GOLD certification
Green Key GOLD certification
Sustainability
We are proud to announce that we are Green Key GOLD certified!
Green Key is the leading international eco-label for sustainable businesses in the tourism, leisure, and corporate sectors. Companies with a Green Key certification do everything they can to protect the environment, without compromising their guests’ comfort and quality. In doing so, they go a step further than what is required by standard laws and regulations.
In addition to the mandatory standards that an organization must meet, the certificate has three levels: bronze, silver, and gold. The more environmental measures a leisure company has implemented, the higher the “environmentally friendly” level.
We are a sustainable company and take responsibility for nature and the environment, without asking you to sacrifice comfort. During your stay, you automatically contribute to our business operations with a “vision for the future.”

Vision for the future
We consider it important that everyone in our hotel feels at home. This means that guests treat each other with respect and do not cause disturbance.
From 10:00 PM, a quiet period applies throughout the hotel. This means that music, TV, and conversations must not disturb other guests.
We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, aggression, intimidating, or disruptive behavior towards staff or other guests.
In case of violation of this rule, we reserve the right to take appropriate measures.
