Climate-neutral hotels

Every overnight stay in a hotel causes CO2 emissions, i.e. carbon dioxide - even if it is a sustainable organic hotel with 100% certified organic cuisine .

What are climate-neutral overnight stays?

The term "climate neutrality" is therefore not entirely accurate in the context of a hotel overnight stay. However, hotels can make their actions and processes as climate-positive as possible. This is exactly what organic hotels have set themselves as their mission. Such an ecological hotel, which has pulled out all the stops to reduce its CO2 emissions, can rightly call itself a " climate-neutral hotel " with climate-neutral overnight stays .

CO2 footprint per guest and overnight stay

The awareness of climate neutrality is growing among the population day by day and more and more people are willing to do their part to improve it. Many organic hotels have had their CO2 emissions measured and can therefore estimate and name the CO2 footprint per guest and overnight stay quite accurately. In addition to various energy-saving measures, electricity from renewable energies ( 100% green electricity , bio-district heating, heat recovery, etc.), insulation measures , ecological building fabric and an organic and largely plant-based menu, hotels also have the option of offsetting their CO2 emissions by financially supporting recognized climate protection projects. In other words, they make CO2 compensation payments .

CO2 compensation through climate protection projects

Hotels that, for example, do not have the option of using green electricity due to their location can compensate for unavoidable emissions in this way. The topic of CO2 compensation is not without controversy and of course hotels that do not take any measures to reduce CO2 cannot ease their conscience by simply investing money in environmental projects. It is more about the inevitability mentioned.

Climate-neutral overnight stays

Our guests can see exactly how much climate-damaging CO2 they are producing at hotels that have already measured their carbon footprint, and compare the eco-hotels with each other based on these figures in terms of their climate friendliness. By staying overnight in one of our hotels, you are making your contribution to climate protection. Your stay here is as climate-neutral as possible.
