Our ecological commitments
Voted “Coup de cœur national Clef Verte” in 2024
At Hôtel du Simplon, we believe that hospitality doesn’t stop at the bedroom door. Hospitality also means taking care. To others, to the city, to the planet.
We live our CSR approach every day, with no announcements or false promises. It is embodied in concrete, sustainable gestures, sometimes invisible, but essential.
Since 2022, we have been awarded the Clé Verte label every year, guaranteeing our commitment to more environmentally-friendly tourism.
We are proud to be the first hotel group in France to become a company with a mission.
Towards a greener
Responsible choices
We’re not perfect, but we’ve made strong choices.
- Energy management: LED lighting, no mini-bars in rooms, temperature control… Every detail counts.
- Less but better: towels and sheets are changed on request only, and toiletries are available on request only.
- Paper minimized, digital preferred: invoices sent by e-mail, digitized documents, reuse of scrap paper…
A shared breakfast room…
Every morning, our guests gather here for a gentle start to the day. Then, from 11am onwards, it becomes a place of exchange and solidarity: we make it available to Les Petites Cantines. It’s a concrete way of putting our values of inclusion, trust and generosity into practice. Les Petites Cantines is a network of neighborhood canteens, open to all, whose aim is to develop local links through the preparation and sharing of meals.
We invite residents, local employees and anyone else who wants to, to come and cook and sit down together around a table in a participatory way: everyone can cut the bread, serve their neighbor, prepare the coffee… and even wash the dishes! We offer sustainable food at a free price, so that everyone can give what they want and what they can afford.
Label accueil vélo
Le Simplon is more than a hotel – it’s an inn in the noblest sense of the word! A place to live, a refuge, a rallying point… without luxury or glitz. A place for those with a passion for travel and for unexpected encounters along the way. It’s a family home imagined for you, for a break from cycling (or not).
