ENVIRONMENTAL SPARKS / OUR ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS AND YOUR PARTICIPATION ARE THE KEY TO A BETTER FUTURE
WE CAN ENJOY DRINKING WATER, BUT WE ARE MINDFUL OF OUR CONSUMPTION
To maintain a satisfactory standard of living, a person consumes about 80 litres of drinking water a day. In Slovenia, we consume between 130 and 200 litres per household member per day. Just one flush of the toilet uses between 2 and 8 litres of clean drinking water, while the average Slovenian household uses 6 litres of water a day for cooking.
We are proud to have you as our guest in an environment where the water is drinkable. In Slovenia, we drink exceptionally clean and high-quality water. Just fill your glass, and cheers!
Use water economically – turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. This can save up to 18 litres of water per minute. When showering and bathing, we also make sure the water does not run unnecessarily.
TOWELS AND BEDDING
Changing towels every day is bad for the environment, placing an extra load on it through electricity, water and detergent consumption. Our hotel provides fully hygienic laundry of the highest quality standards and works in partnership with the company Salasianer. Laundry is washed in accordance with the indicated disinfection and sustainable washing procedures.
The environment will thank you if you only put towels on the floor when they are dirty and you want us to wash them.
SEPARATE WASTE DILIGENTLY
Separate rubbish according to the instructions. Waste should always be disposed of in the appropriate containers and never in nature or down drains. Waste dumped in this way contaminates groundwater and other sources of drinking water. There are rubbish bins with compartments in all the corridors and halls.
SAVING ENERGY
We use energy-saving/LED lamps. We turn off lights when we don’t need them. In the rooms, we use cards to switch on/off the electricity in the room, as well as the sensor-controlled lighting. This helps reduce electricity consumption and preserve the environment.
REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
We close the doors and windows when the air conditioning and heating are running. We ventilate the rooms briefly in the morning and evening to provide some fresh air.
We close the windows when using the air conditioning. Instead of using air conditioning, open the window in the evening to cool the room in the summer and close the curtains during the day to prevent overheating.
COSMETICS
We use 100% natural cosmetics
REDUCING THE USE OF PLASTIC AND PAPER
Slovenia generated an average of 489 kg of municipal waste per resident in 2020. Every year, an individual in Slovenia uses between 100 and 300 plastic bags, which are only used for a few minutes to an hour at most. The world is producing more and more plastic, 6.4 million tonnes of which is ending up in the environment. Plastic particles enter our bodies and the bodies of animals, which has a negative impact on our health. AVOID USING SINGLE-USE PLASTIC PRODUCTS.
We reduce paper consumption in offices and use recycled paper.
WE ENJOY THE LOCAL WEALTH OF NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE
Slovenia’s natural and cultural heritage is outstanding – we inform our guests about the surrounding natural attractions and cultural events. Guests can find information on attractions, experiences, gastronomy and customs at the reception desk.
WE EXPLORE OUR SURROUNDINGS WITH ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY FORMS OF MOBILITY
Ljubljana is ideal for cycling, e-scooters and public transport. Every trip that a guest makes by bike, e-scooter, public transport or on foot instead of by car is an environmentally friendly act. Guests can find full information on bike rental at the reception desk.
