On this site we would like to present you some environmentally friendly hotels in Europe. We would like to tell you their inspiring stories and motivation.
They are all unique. Different like colourful bouquet of flowers, they all have things in common: love for nature, sustainable management of resources, buying locally, serving seasonal fresh food, eco-friendly energy, water and waste management.
We do not certify those hotels; we truly believe that only guarantee for eco-friendly behaviour are real people who stand with their names and hearts behind all green hotels listed on our website.
The main aim of this page is sharing experience, innovation approach and best practices.
Over three-quarters of businesses (77%) currently have practices in place to reduce the impact their busines has on the environment. Australasian and North American businesses are most likely to have eco-friendly practices in place (both 84% vs 77% overall), which falls to 73% among European properties.

Thanks to the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU) and together with TourCert, Germany, we were able to launch the project „Transfer of innovations in corporate and social responsibility from German tour operators to tourist companies in the countries along Danube river” in 2016.
The aim is to promote sustainable tourism in all the countries of the Danube region. The project encourages a sustainable tourism development contributing to environmental protection along the value chain, while considering local and national characteristics. At least 80 companies improve their resource efficiency (water, energy, waste, etc.) for at least 20%. By means of a systematic sustainability assessment of the companies a monitoring system is implemented that facilitates an evaluation of the sustainability performance and helps to identify improvement potentials. In addition, a network is constructed to encourage the exchange between the companies.
The project aims at small and medium tourism enterprises, such as hotels, tour operators, travel agencies, incoming agencies, destination management organizations and marketing organizations.
