A little care in detail brings noticeable relief for the environment

Sustainability is our policy

We are happy to sponsor the UHU’s

What could be more obvious for a hotel with “UHU” in it’s name to get involved in a very specific way for these wonderful birds? We contacted the “Leidenhausen” bird of prey station in Cologne’s Königsforst and sponsored two eagle owls that live there. Whenever we ride our bikes in the Königsforst, we always like to stop there. We mean … they both know each other by now.

Care starts with the breakfast

We don’t use rubbish bins on the breakfast table because we avoid packaging waste with very simple means. In our kitchen we only use fresh products that we prefer to get from regional, responsible farmers. Your breakfast egg for example comes from the Kutscher poultry farm in Wermelskirchen and our coffee and tea varieties bear the Fairtrade seal.

For us, sustainability starts with small details.

Our e-charging stations, convenient and environmentally friendly

With our eight charging stations you can conveniently charge your e-vehicle overnight free of charge. The charging fee is included in the parking fee and is an important contribution to e-mobility for us. By the way … our entire fleet consists exclusively of pure electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Advantage modern technology

In the Hotel UHU, ecologically optimized technology has priority. It starts with energy-efficient LED lights and motion detectors, and these not only help to reduce our power consumption. Don’t be afraid to invest: Based on the ingenious combined heat and power system our two own block power plants generate almost 90 percent of our electricity consumption and almost 75 percent of our heating energy.

Transparent and climate neutral

Trust is good – control is better. Every year we work with our partners to determine the Co2 footprint of the entire Hotel UHU and offset 100% of the emissions in recognized and certified environmental projects.

Over the years we have repeatedly received awards for our commitment:

The first hotel in North Rhine-Westphalia to be awarded the gold certificate in the environmental check of the German Hotel and Restaurant Association;
Won 3rd place in the award for customer satisfaction of the Association of German Travel Management (VDR) in 2012 and 2014;
Level 4 certified member of GreenSign since 2021
