Supporting local communities and culture

Posted on

At IBB Hotel Collection, we believe that a hotel is more than just a place to stay; it is a gateway to local culture, traditions, and communities. Our commitment to responsible hospitality extends beyond offering exceptional accommodations. It involves actively supporting and promoting the unique heritage and artistic expressions of the regions we operate in. From partnering with local artisans to preserving historical landmarks, here’s how IBB Hotel Collection makes a lasting impact on local communities and culture.

Several IBB Hotel Collection hotels are housed in historically significant buildings that have been carefully restored to maintain their original charm while offering modern luxury. For example, IBB Hotel Palazzo Bettina is a stunning example of how heritage conservation and contemporary hospitality can coexist. Our restoration efforts ensure that these architectural treasures remain a part of the community’s cultural landscape for generations to come.

With locally sourced ingredients and furnishings, we emphasise the use of regional products in our hotels. Our restaurants prioritise ingredients sourced from nearby locations, promoting sustainable agriculture and supporting local businesses. Guests can enjoy authentic culinary traditions while knowing they are contributing to the local economy.

We actively participate in and sponsor cultural events that celebrate local traditions. IBB Hotel Collection takes pride in helping to keep these traditions alive. We also encourage guests to immerse themselves in these experiences, offering special packages and insider tips on the best cultural happenings in the area.

Our hotels also collaborate with regional businesses, from boutique shops to family-run tour operators, ensuring that tourism benefits the entire community. Additionally, we support charitable initiatives that address local needs, whether through fundraising, donations, or volunteering. For example, in Spain, we had launched a GoFundMe initiative to provide mattresses to Valencian communities in need, demonstrating our commitment to giving back to the places we call home.

Sustainability is a key pillar of our operations, and we promote responsible tourism that respects local communities and environments. We educate our guests on eco-friendly practices, such as reducing waste and choosing ethical travel experiences. By partnering with sustainable brands and implementing green initiatives, we strive to minimise our environmental impact while maximising the positive contributions of tourism.

IBB Hotel Collection is deeply invested in the cultural and social fabric of the destinations we operate in. Through our commitment to art, heritage, local businesses, and community initiatives, we create meaningful connections between travellers and the places they visit. By staying with us, guests don’t just enjoy luxury accommodations, they become part of a larger mission to celebrate and preserve local culture for future generations.

Come experience hospitality with a purpose. Stay with IBB Hotel Collection and discover the heart and soul of each destination.
