ECOTOURISM IN PARIS | WELCOME HOTEL PARIS

Ecotourism-in-paris-welcome-hotel-2

We welcome you to Paris and to the Welcome Hotel Paris.

Because we love travel as much as we love our planet, and because sustainable tourism perfectly aligns with our hospitality values, we have begun our ecological transition. We are delighted to have been awarded the Green Key label, the leading international eco-label for tourism accommodations. It recognizes hotels that stand out for their commitment to sustainability and environmental practices.

Our Eco-Friendly Approach

Our sustainability initiatives as a Green Hotel in Paris

 
We have made water and energy consumption our priority : 
 

Water resources management: Installation of flow limiters

Energy resources management: Low consumption light bulbs / presence detector / timer

Sensitization of our guests and staff to the use of air conditioning and heating.

STAFF 💙

Our teams are trained to follow eco-friendly practices in their daily tasks.

SUPPLIERS 🥐

We carefully select our service providers and suppliers based on their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.

For breakfast, we prioritize organic and sustainable products, local sourcing, and seasonal ingredients whenever possible.

WASTE SORTING, RUDUCTION, AND RECYCLING ♻️

Waste sorting, implemented in our guest rooms, is also part of this commitment. All our waste is fully sorted to reduce our environmental impact.

We have also redesigned our guest amenities to minimize plastic use and promote recycling. Instead of individual single-use packaging, you will now find large, 100% recyclable dispensers that we regularly refill.

To further reduce waste, we partner with leshotelssolidaires.fr to redistribute any untouched pastries from breakfast to those in need.

ECO-FRIENDLY CLEANING AND BIODIVERSITY 🐝

We now use ozonated water for cleaning guest rooms and common areas. This provides better air quality and reduces health risks for both guests and staff.

Welcome Hotel Paris is also proud to sponsor a beehive with Happyzabeille, helping to support biodiversity and protect our pollinators.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY 💻

Since January 2024, we have also been offsetting the CO₂ emissions of our website with the Net Zero Website label.

Let’s act together!

During your stay, you can help us by adopting a few simple eco-friendly habits.

Let’s preserve our water resources 💧

Because small actions can have a big impact:

-We change your bed and bath linens upon request: simply leave used towels in the bathtub or on the floor, and let the reception know if you’d prefer not to have your sheets changed during your stay. Skipping a towel wash saves 6 liters of water.

-Similarly, you may opt out of daily housekeeping if you wish.

-Please remember to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth and avoid letting water run unnecessarily: a 5-minute shower uses 40 to 50 liters of water—every extra minute adds 10 more liters!

-Only toilet paper should be flushed. Trash bins are provided for everything else. Cigarette butts, sanitary products, and other waste can disrupt the proper functioning of the water treatment system.

-Do not hesitate to report any water leaks or other issues to our team.

Energy is our future – let’s save it! ⚡️

In your eco-friendly hotel room in Paris, adopt the right habits:

-Use heating and air conditioning moderately: it is better for your health! And if you open the window, remember to turn them off.

-Please switch off the lights when you leave your room.

Get around without polluting 🚲

Ask the front desk for information on how to explore the city on foot, by bike, e-bike, scooter, green taxi (G7 Green Cab), electric car, or public transport (visit the RATP website for more info). You will also find a map of Paris’ bike lanes here.

Here are a few apps and websites to help you explore Paris sustainably:

Citygem: a free app to explore Paris on foot, by bike, or by scooter. Choose your theme – green, leisurely strolls, or architecture – and follow the guide!

Parisavelo.fr: choose your bike, rental duration, or take part in a guided bike tour.

Jooks: want to discover Paris while running? This app guides you through the city (and beyond) on foot, by bike, or in a wheelchair.

Let’s prevent and reduce waste: it is piling up! ♻️

As far as hygiene rules allow, we strive to limit single-use products and excess packaging. We sort waste properly. You can help us by sorting your waste as follows:

-Empty packaging, bottles, and newspapers → green bin in your wastebasket

-Non-recyclable waste → black bin in your wastebasket

-Used batteries → drop them off at reception
