The responsible way forward

Sustainability plays an important role in our establishment. This is why the hotel is keen to save energy and protect the environment in the following ways:

• Photovoltaic system on the roof generating renewable energy for the air-conditioned hotel and event facilities
• Energy-efficient domestic installations
• Ventilation system with heat recovery
• Fully automated blinds for optimum sun and heat shielding
• Thermally insulated and soundproofed windows
• LED lighting in many areas
• Motion-activated lighting in corridors and toilets
• Use of heat pump dryers
• Choice of fair trade and regional products
• Provision for visitors on cycle tours, such as basement bicycle storage room, e-bike charging facilities, repair facilities
• Rooftop greenery and planting of shrubs and flowers on terraces and around the hotel

We were presented with the Essener Umweltpreis (Essen environment award) in 2015 and the innogy Klimaschutzpreis (innogy climate protection award) in 2016 in recognition of our commitment.
