Eco-responsibility

    For stays of two nights or more, we encourage our guests to dispense with the maid service, which saves 60 liters of water. As part of our commitment to social and environmental responsibility, our hotels have abandoned the use of plastic bottles. Instead, a Purezza water fountain is available in the lobby of our establishments. HappyCulture hotels raise guests' awareness of everyday gestures that help preserve the environment, notably by displaying "eco-gestures" and implementing waste sorting. What's more, we give priority to local and bulk produce for our breakfasts, in order to reduce our carbon footprint. HappyCulture is involved in the energy transition by working on a project to install charging stations for electric vehicles, scheduled for 2025.
