Making a Difference

We are very committed to sustainability and are participating in several programs to improve our local environment. We recycle paper, plastic, and glass. We also try to use cleaner sources of energy, reduce our use of detergents and other chemicals, and create awareness in all our employees and guests.

For these reasons, we were awarded with three leaves from the Certification for Sustainability Tourism (CST) and continue looking to improve operational practices inside and out of the hotel.
