Sustainability in Leipzig’s Conference Hotels

The Leipzig Marriott Hotel acquired Green Key certification in 2023. This certification recognises how sustainable hotels have become in terms of environmental, social and economic aspects. The certification also focuses on raising awareness of sustainability issues among guests. So it’s even better that Marriott guests can experience sustainability in a very tangible way. With the introduction of the new PlanT room category, an entire floor has been dedicated to this subject. The rooms have a more sustainable feel, with the addition of plants and ecological alternatives to the previous standard. These include organic tea and coffee, sustainable pens, and water-saving shower heads and taps. Guests are provided with a complimentary bicycle for the duration of their stay. What’s more, for every overnight stay, a tree is planted locally by the Forest for Saxony foundation. The hotel also aims to reduce its environmental footprint by reducing waste and saving energy. In the pipeline: a recycling initiative for all paper towels in the hotel. After use, they will be collected, recycled by the manufacturer and reused.  A recycling system that could easily catch on.

The Radisson Blu is another Certified Business, Conference and Green Hotel in a prime location in Leipzig. Sustainable business processes in all areas are the basis for the certifications. The general motto of the hotel group is Think People, Think Community and Think Planet. One of the pillars is the ambitious plan for a carbon-free future by 2050. And have you ever heard of “Experience Meetings”? With this, the Radisson Blu promises to rethink business meetings. In addition to good food and top facilities, the principles also include environmental awareness. For example, the hotel uses 100 per cent renewable electricity. The Radisson Blu Hotel Leipzig also promotes its sophisticated training programme for hotel, restaurant and kitchen professionals. Forbes named the hotel group the fourth best employer in the travel and leisure industry. And it’s also worth taking a look at the breakfast buffet. This is characterised by a regional touch and the absence of single-serve packaging.
