Do you go GREEN?

What do we do to go GREEN?

We would like to take this occasion to promote ourselves since this has been the first year we have been participating to the yearly worldwide event EARTH HOUR.
As many of you know, it was last March 23rd and took place...everywhere! And we were a part of this in Prague and in Marianske Lazne with our hotels.
The Association of Hotels and Restaurant of the Czech Republic - AHR CR , of which we are proud member since the beginning of this year, invited all its members to take part to the Earth Hour involving our staff and guests.

We have involved most of our hotels:

Hotel Green Lobster and Hotel Bijou de Prague 

Hotel Raffaello













Hotel Tyl









Hotel Residence Mala Strana











Hotel Continental in Marianske Lazne, where our guests enjoyed their meal at candlelight in our restaurants.

The aim is to encourage households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour to raise awareness about the climate changing.

But what do Garzotto Hotels and Resorts do all over the year to stay GREEN? Well, we do our best and here are some GREEN GUIDELINES that we try to follow strictly:

- all our hotels are non-smoking (only one of them has a very limited smoking are still)

- all private and public areas are lighted with energy-efficient lightning

- paper saving and recycling in offices and departments

- bulk soap and amenities instead of individual packages  to reduce waste (with exception of one hotel in our chain)

-  towel and sheets re-use:  we invite our guests to leave these slightly used items to reduce water consumption


- we re-use old tablecloths and cloth napking for internal use and housekeeping




Any suggestions? We will defintely continuing doing our best and we hope we could encourage our guests all over the year to adopt these guidelines and others in their everyday life
