Hotel Spiess & Spiess demonstrates an unwavering commitment to sustainability, environmental protection, and responsible practices. Certified by the Austrian Eco Label, it takes substantial steps to lessen its impact on the environment. This includes procuring regionally sourced organic food and fair-trade products, avoiding capsule coffee and preferring reusable or recyclable packaging for beverages. Textiles and laundry are managed in an eco-friendly way, utilizing 50% organic fair-trade cotton linens and Eco-Label certified detergents. Energy conservation is a priority, achieved through efficient heating technologies, intelligent room temperature control, and use of LED lighting. Water conservation is practiced by employing water-saving systems for all hand showers and actively monitoring energy and water consumption.
Waste management at Hotel Spiess & Spiess includes recycling PET bottles, cans, and plastic packaging, and employing separate waste bins for recyclable and residual waste. Single-use items are largely eliminated and reusable alternatives are prioritized, contributing to a significant reduction in waste. The hotel garden serves as a refuge for bees, butterflies, and local flora, hosting non-invasive plants that bloom throughout the year without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Housekeeping practices feature EU Ecolabel certified cleaning agents and minimize chemical usage with automatic dispensing systems and efficient cleaning materials. Guests are also encouraged to support the hotel's eco-friendly mission through responsible behaviors, such as energy conservation, waste separation, and appreciation of regional, environmentally friendly, and low-waste products.
