Sustainability
Since 1864, the Hotel Schweizerhof has existed in the heart of Basel and has experienced many changes. From our long history and tradition, we also see the necessity to actively shape the future and transition towards a more sustainable future. For us, the Schweizerhof, and all generations to come.
Sustainabilty within a high quality hotel: The Schweizerhof has been awarded Swisstainable Level II
We are proud to announce: The Hotel Schweizerhof has been awarded Swisstainable Level II!
What is Swisstainable?
Swisstainable is the sustainability strategy of Switzerland Tourism. The aim is to accompany companies on their way to an ecologically, socially and economically sustainable orientation - and at the same time to offer a genuine, tangible guest experience. Sustainability is understood holistically - far beyond pure environmental protection.
Level II - visible progress
The Level II award stands for concrete commitment and verifiable measures in terms of sustainability. At the Hotel Schweizerhof, we implement this in a number of ways:
- Conscious use of resources (e.g. avoidance of disposable plastic)
- Focus on regional and seasonal food
- Investments in sustainable energy and building technology
- Responsibility towards our employees
What can you do?
- The future concerns us all. Here are a few tips on how you can support us.
- Arrive by train – It’s a 2-minute walk to the SBB train station.
- If arriving by plane, use the airport bus, which is free for you (the hotel reservation is your ticket).
- Use our water stations for glasses and your own drinking bottles instead of single-use plastic bottles.
- Reduced change of towels and bed linen upon request.
Our goal: A stay that is good for all - our guests, the region basel and the environment.
