Sustainability

 

Fewer traces. More impact.

 

As a family business in the Lower Rhine, we think long-term and in the interests of future generations. That is why we are constantly working to reduce our ecological footprint and at the same time create genuine quality of life.

Consistently well thought out – in many areas

Sustainably certified: GreenSign Level 5
Our sustainability performance is reviewed regularly.
With GreenSign Level 5, we are among the leading
sustainable hotels in Germany. GreenSign certifies
the areas of environment, purchasing, transport,
quality management and social responsibility
for sustainable, responsible business practices.

Sustainability in everyday hotel operations
We separate waste properly, source cut flowers from
the region, take part in the Niederrheinrad system,
support ethical insurance providers, use vegan,
feather-free bedding in all rooms, and review every
decision by asking: Can it be more sustainable? Often: yes.

Energy and electricity
Our highly efficient combined heat and power plant
generates heat and electricity at the same time – a major step
towards energy self-sufficiency. The green electricity produced
also supplies our charging points for e-bikes and
electric cars. In addition, we use LEDs throughout the hotel,
motion sensors and modern appliances with
heat recovery.

Water and cleaning
Water is precious. That is why we use it consciously: from
efficient dishwashing and laundry systems to a
considerate approach to towel changes. We also rely on vegan
and environmentally compatible products
for cleaning.

Culinary offering
We prefer food from the local area and cook seasonally
wherever possible. Our menu
offers many plant-based dishes – and the number is steadily
growing. All beverages, care products and
cleaning products are vegan as well. In this way, we combine
enjoyment, ethics and climate protection.

Sustainability is part of what we understand by hospitality.

Good
For everyone.

Welcome home.

 

We want to show how versatile, enjoyable and natural an animal-friendly stay can be. Whether out of conviction, curiosity or simply because it tastes good: you are very welcome.

Breakfast

Our buffet is as varied as the morning itself. Much of it comes directly from the region – much of it is plant-based: Freshly baked bread and rolls, jams, plant-based spreads and cold cuts, muesli, granola, yogurt and drinks based on oats or soy. Plus fresh fruit salad, sprouts from our own cultivation, homemade dips, scrambled tofu and small warm snacks.

Libertine Spa

Relax with a good feeling: Our treatments are carried out exclusively with cruelty-free care products without animal ingredients. In collaboration with Gertraud Gruber Naturkosmetik.

Restaurant offer

70% of the dishes on our menu are purely plant-based and impress with their taste. For our sauces, we use vegan cooking wine; our vinegar was not clarified using animal-derived processing aids.

Drinks

All drinks on our menu – from Van Nahmen juices to wines – are vegan. Cheers!

Minibar

Small snack, big impact: Our minibar is stocked purely with plant-based products.

Housekeeping

Washing and cleaning agents, towels and even work clothes: everything is free from animal components.

Reception and Office

Even behind the scenes, we rely on vegan standards – right down to animal-friendly paints and toners.

Commitment

For us, sustainability does not stop at the product. That is why we regularly support vegan and charitable projects such as Hof Butenland, Erdlingshof, the Düsseldorf animal welfare association and Plenty Food. The local sanctuary “Verein für Tierfreiheit e.V.” in Kleve is also close to our hearts – and once a year we host a charity event in support of the animals.

Enjoy together

Our regular vegan events bring plant-based cuisine to life: with pizza days, brunches or murder mystery dinners. Light, sociable and full of flavour.
