Sustainability Journey
Boasting four eco-friendly establishments around the green spaces of Amsterdam, the Conscious Hotels provide a unique blend of sustainability and style, earning their motto, "Eco-Sexy. Big Smiles." Each property reflects its own design and charm, while sharing a common principle of using the most sustainable materials. Eco-consciousness seeps into every aspect of the hotels' operations, from the carefully selected suppliers who align with the brand's environmental values to the organic, NaTrue certified soaps in large dispensers replacing the single-use plastic bottles.
Each property harnesses green energy, utilizing Dutch windmills through Pure Energie, solar panels, and Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) for heating and cooling. Conscious Hotel Westerpark stands out as a fully electric establishment, and The Tire Station comes fitted with solar panels. Water-saving techniques are not overlooked; showerheads pump air through nozzles and taps have water-saving systems, resulting in significant water conservation. Waste management is executed efficiently, with all waste properly sorted and compacted, and food and beverages are sourced locally and organically, complementing the seasonal dishes. These eco-friendly initiatives extend the hotels' green footprint, contributing to a memorable and responsible stay in the heart of Amsterdam.
