How IBB Hotels are making a difference

In a world where conscious travel is more important than ever, IBB Hotel Collection is leading the charge toward a more sustainable future in hospitality. With properties across Europe and a passion for combining comfort with responsibility, IBB Hotels are making it easier for guests to enjoy exceptional stays while reducing their environmental footprint.

Eco-friendly room practices

IBB Hotel Collection has taken meaningful steps to ensure that sustainability is embedded in every guest experience. From the moment you check in, you’ll notice thoughtful, eco-conscious touches that make a big difference over time.

  • Energy-efficient lighting and appliances: IBB Hotels have transitioned to LED lighting and energy-efficient systems to minimise electricity consumption without compromising comfort.
  • Smart climate control: Guest rooms are equipped with intelligent heating and cooling systems that adjust automatically based on occupancy, reducing unnecessary energy use.
  • Water-saving solutions: Low-flow showerheads, dual-flush toilets, and linen reuse programs help conserve water – a critical resource in sustainable operations.
  • Elimination of single-use plastics: From refillable bathroom amenities to reusable key cards, IBB Hotels are phasing out single-use plastics in favour of long-term, environmentally friendly alternatives.

Sustainable partnerships

True sustainability doesn’t stop at the hotel door. IBB Hotels partners with local suppliers, artisans, and eco-friendly vendors to support regional economies and reduce the environmental cost of long-distance transport.

  • Local sourcing: Restaurants and bars in IBB Hotels prioritize seasonal, locally sourced ingredients to reduce carbon emissions and support nearby communities.
  • Eco-certified suppliers: From cleaning products to in-room materials, the hotel collection favours suppliers who share their commitment to sustainability and uphold certified environmental standards.
  • Green certifications: Many IBB properties are working towards or have already achieved recognized sustainability certifications, affirming their commitment to planet-friendly hospitality.

Empowering guests to travel green

IBB Hotels understands that travellers want to do their part and we make it easy for guests to contribute to a greener stay.

  • Digital check-in and paperless billing: Cutting down on paper waste is simple yet impactful, and IBB Hotels encourage digital interactions wherever possible.
  • Guest engagement: Hotels provide information about eco-friendly practices and local green activities, encouraging guests to explore sustainably and respectfully.
