Energy & heating

The hotel’s heating and hot water system is entirely gas-free — the building is supplied by 58°C thermal water and geothermal energy from a depth of 1,632 metres.

🚫🔥

The hotel’s heating is gas-free

We do not use gas at all for heating the building or for hot water supply. The 58°C thermal water rising from a depth of 1,632 metres, together with the geothermal system, fully replaces fossil fuel for these functions. Only 2 gas burners are used in the kitchen — more than 96% of the hotel’s gas consumption has been eliminated.

Smart hotel — intelligent energy management

Every hotel room is equipped with a smart system that automatically monitors the most common sources of energy waste.

🪟

Window & door sensors

If a window or the entrance door is open in the room, the air conditioning stops automatically — not a watt is wasted during ventilation.

💡

Motion-sensor lighting

Motion-sensor lighting is used in washrooms and communal areas — lights are on only where and when they are truly needed.

QHow does the hotel reduce energy waste in the rooms?
Each of the 43 rooms is equipped with a smart system: when a guest opens the window or entrance door, the air conditioning stops automatically. Communal areas and washrooms have motion-sensor lighting that switches on only when needed.

🔌

Electric car chargers

Two charging points are available in the car park — with a total simultaneous capacity of 33 kW.

11 kW
Charging point 1 · AC
~100 km range per hour of charging (average electric car)
22 kW
Charging point 2 · AC

Aerators in every room

Aerators built into showers and taps reduce water consumption by mixing in air — without compromising the guest experience.

Own water purification system in the restaurant

Our guests receive filtered drinking water and sparkling water from our own water purification system — without plastic bottles.

🛁

Towel change on request

Towels are changed only when guests request it — saving water, energy and detergent.

♻️

Waste reduction

From preventing waste to selective collection — across every level of the hotel.

♻️

Selective waste collection everywhere

Selective waste bins are available throughout the hotel — including the corridors — making sorting convenient.

🧴

No single-use mini packaging

We do not use small-sized cosmetic products in the rooms — drastically reducing plastic waste.

🍽️

Conscious breakfast

At breakfast, we encourage our guests to take only as much as they will actually eat — in the spirit of reducing food waste.

🌿

Nature & local community

An 8-hectare park, the shore of a fishing lake and ingredients from local producers — sustainability appears on the plate as well.

🌲

8-hectare park

Our hotel stands in a well-kept 8-hectare park, directly on the shore of a fishing lake. The green area is more than fifteen times the floor area of the building.

🌱

Green interiors

🥕

Local ingredients

In our supply chain, we prioritise local food producers — fresher ingredients and a smaller transport footprint.
