At the Hotel Bellevue, excellent service goes hand in hand with respect for our Mediterranean environment. We are aware of the impact of the hotel industry on the planet. That's why we have implemented an ambitious CSR roadmap aimed at minimizing our ecological footprint while ensuring optimal comfort.

Our activities
Savings
We save energy and water, by adapting the temperature of our rooms, using ecological tap mixers
Lighting
All of the hotel's light bulbs have been replaced by the latest generation of low-consumption LED bulbs.

Local products
We use organic, eco-labeled, and locally sourced products for breakfast, soaps, and cleaning supplies. Our restaurant, La Caravelle, is Ecotable certified.
packaging
We ban individually packaged products. Our individual soaps have been replaced by packages that we fill ourselves, our staff is trained to use the right quantities
Reducing our Energy and Water Footprint
We continually invest in reducing our energy consumption and preserving water, a precious resource in Provence.
We will change the sheets and towels upon request . One unwashed towel saves 6 liters of water. Our linens are entrusted to a company committed to minimizing its environmental impact, guaranteeing the use of appropriate programs and eco-friendly washing products. It's a local, small-scale business located in the heart of Marseille, and they deliver the linens by bicycle.
The washing programs are appropriate depending on the laundry (e.g. savings of approximately 60% water and 70% energy consumption compared to domestic washing)
Waste (cans – pallets) is systematically taken back by our suppliers.
Used linen is recycled into tea towels.
In order to reduce the carbon footprint we group orders together to make a single delivery.
The laundry delivered is just strapped which reduces the impact on waste
Local Sourcing and Ethical Partnerships
L'écologie, c'est aussi soutenir l'économie locale. Notre restaurant, La Caravelle, est au cœur de cet engagement en privilégiant le circuit court.
- Restoration (La Caravelle: We buy our seasonal fruits and vegetables directly from regional producers And our fish come from local fishing. Camargue products (rice, shellfish) are preferred, ensuring exemplary traceability and freshness.
Suppliers: For guest products (soaps, shower gels) and cleaning products, we choose labeled or eco-labeled ranges, packaged in large formats to limit plastic.
Personnel: We favour local recruitment, thus contributing to the dynamism of employment in Marseille.
Waste Management and Awareness
Nous nous engageons à limiter la production de déchets et à améliorer le recyclage dans l'ensemble de l'hôtel, des chambres à la cuisine.
Recycling: Recycling bins are installed in common areas and offices. We are working to install clearer recycling solutions in each room.
Plastic Reduction: Single-use plastics are banned from our restaurant and bar practices. Carafe water is preferred, and we use sustainable containers for takeout food.
