We actively make a sustainable contribution with the following measures:

Today more than ever, a regional focus is a central aspect of sustainable hotel management. Where possible, we work closely with local businesses and are committed to promoting the regional economy.

In a city like Hamburg, which is known for its historical significance, cultural diversity and unique architecture, the responsibility of hotels to be both environmentally conscious and to preserve local heritage is becoming increasingly important.

Below we have put together some tips on how you, as our guests, can also protect our cultural heritage:

• Use our hire bikes or public transport to get into the city.
• Avoid environmental pollution and dispose of your rubbish properly.
• Favour sustainable tourist activities, such as visiting small art galleries, local craft shops or historical tours.
• Share cultural heritage respectfully by ensuring that when you take photos or videos of cultural landmarks, you do not damage cultural or historical values and do not violate the privacy of others.
• Respect the preservation of monuments and historic buildings, for example by not damaging the facades.
