Sustainable Climate Protection

In 2006, we laid the foundations for a more sustainable future with the development of our first strategy paper. Through a series of improvements, including the modernisation of technical systems, we have been able to significantly reduce the hotel's electricity and gas consumption and cut CO2 emissions by almost 50 per cent.
