Since 2025 we have held the highest level of the official visitBerlin sustainability certification.

We are re-audited every year, publicly available, GSTC-recognised.
The EU directive 2024/825 (EmpCo) comes into force on 27 September 2026. It prohibits generic sustainability claims without evidence. Our certification is the evidence.

All Stories
The team behind it

Leadership at eye level. Responsibility at every level.

Sustainability is not born in a concept – it starts with the daily decisions of the people who run the hotel.
