Our activities

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 Our individual soaps have been replaced by packages that we fill ourselves, our staff is trained to use the right quantities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
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.
