Environment Pillar

Sustainable Building and Responsible Resource Management

The Grand Hôtel Barrière Enghien-les-Bains designs and adapts its infrastructure to reduce its environmental footprint while ensuring the comfort of its guests. This approach is materialized by the integration of less impactful materials, energy optimization, and continuous improvement of resource management.

Numerous initiatives are implemented to reduce water and energy consumption, such as the installation of LED lighting, aerators, and sub-meters.

During extended stays, linen is renewed only upon request, thus combining comfort and resource preservation.

The Grand Hôtel Barrière Enghien-les-Bains also follows a logic of harmonious integration into its environment, favoring landscape integration, preservation of existing ecosystems, and more sustainable construction practices.

Circular Economy Valorization

The principles of the circular economy apply to all professions and are accompanied by optimized waste management through a single provider, Take a Waste, specialized in comprehensive waste management, allowing anticipation of regulatory developments and ensuring efficient sorting.

In our spaces, glass replaces single-use plastic, and used soaps find a second life through solidarity associations, while contributing to humanitarian causes.

The Grand Hôtel Barrière Enghien-les-Bains also acts on its paper consumption by gradually digitizing its communication media, as well as offering its clients a digital press service, PressReader.
