Hotel “Green Key”
First hotel to obtain a “Green Key” ecological label in Marseille
Our Commitment to Sustainable Tourism: Eco-Friendly Hotel in Marseille
We are reducing our environmental impact.
We preserve natural resources.
We limit pollution
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 a roadmap. CSR An ambitious goal: to minimize our environmental footprint while ensuring optimal comfort. Book your responsible stay on the Old Port and join our initiative for greener tourism in Marseille.
We are very proud to be a GREEN hotel, to protect our nature, and to share this advantage with you. We have the details of our environmental approach available to you in our documentation as well as at reception.
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All of the hotel's light bulbs have been replaced by the latest generation of low-consumption LED bulbs.
Waste
We reduce our waste production, we use bulk and recyclable products, we sort
Local products
We use organic, eco-label and local products offered for breakfast, as well as for soaps and cleaning products.
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 Our individual soaps have been replaced by packages that we fill ourselves, our staff is trained to use the right quantities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 sheets and towels on demand. 1 unwashed towel represents 6 liters of water saved. Our sheets are entrusted to a company concerned about its impact on the environment, guaranteeing the use of appropriate programs and ecological washing products. It is a local company, on a human scale. It is located in the city center of Marseille and delivers laundry to us by bike.
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
Our teams are trained to check our installations and report a water leak. Do not hesitate to notify us of any leak detected in your room, we will intervene as soon as possible. Don't leave the taps on when brushing your teeth and reduce your shower time. Our sanitary installation offers two flushes with a more or less significant flow rate.
We have installed several technological elements allowing us to manage electrical elements remotely. Air conditioning and heating can be managed using a remote control in your room and also from a tablet at reception. We can program schedules with different requested temperatures depending on the time of day. When the windows are open, the devices are automatically cut off so as not to have wasted waste. At certain times, particularly at night when it is unnecessary, general device control is cut off. This is the case of the mini bar which is thus turned off for several hours, leaving nothing to be desired at night.
Adopt, like us, the right reflexes.
We have reduced our quantity of waste at the source by drastically reducing the packaging of our deliveries. We have changed the welcome coffee in your room to offer you bulk and organic instant coffee. With the means that we put at your disposal, such as the sorting bin on the 2nd floor, battery box, recovery at reception.
We take care of the recovery of your waste and their recycling
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 amenities (soaps, shower gels) and cleaning products, we choose labeled or eco-labeled ranges, packaged in large formats to limit plastic.
Staff : We prioritize 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.
Selective Sorting: Recycling bins are installed in common areas and offices. We are working on installing clearer recycling solutions in each room.
