Marseille, nestled between the sea, the calanques, and its urban heritage, is a unique—but fragile—city. Tourism, if poorly managed, can endanger its ecosystems. The Hôtel Belle-Vue recognizes this responsibility: here's how it's committed to preserving the environment, and how you can contribute.
A Green Key certified hotel — a symbol of sustainable commitment
The Hotel Belle-Vue was the first hotel in Marseille to receive the Green Key label , in 2013. This international eco-label rewards establishments adopting sustainable practices: water, energy, waste management, choice of responsible suppliers, etc.
The label is renewed every year, after an audit: a guarantee of seriousness and consistency.
Responsibility towards the coastline and the calanques
The hotel encourages eco-friendly practices — organic products, plastic reduction, waste management, water — to limit its impact on the coastline and natural environments.
In addition, the hotel raises awareness among its customers: by reducing water consumption, sorting waste, avoiding disposable products — modest but essential actions to preserve the Mediterranean and marine ecosystems.
A responsible supply chain
The hotel works with committed suppliers : local laundry delivered by bike, ecological cleaning products, organic or locally sourced food products.
Individual packaging has been eliminated — a strong step in the fight against plastics.
Towards a comprehensive CSR approach
Beyond the environment, the Hotel Belle-Vue intends to act in accordance with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): choosing responsible suppliers, paying attention to employee well-being, inclusion and integration, and a desire to involve customers and staff in environmental protection.
Your role as a responsible traveler
- Opt for public transport or bicycles for your travels in Marseille.
- Participate in waste sorting, limit the use of plastics, report any water leaks or potential waste.
- Supporting local, seasonal, organic products — both for the stay and for meals.
- Adopt simple actions: turn off the lights, close the air conditioning, reuse towels and sheets, etc.
The Hotel Belle-Vue demonstrates that tourism in Marseille can go hand in hand with respect for the environment. By choosing eco-friendly accommodation and adopting responsible practices, you contribute—modestly but tangibly—to preserving the coastline, the calanques, and the Mediterranean ecosystem. A small step for you, a giant leap for nature.
