For the planet

Reversible Air Conditioning and Heating Control

Generally speaking, and depending on its energy class, the system allows you to save four times more energy. Specifically, a reversible air conditioner consumes 25 to 40% less energy than a conventional heating system.

The temperature is regulated in unoccupied rooms.

 

Eco-friendly Cleaning

Hotel R de Paris uses very few chemicals (in the toilets), and those used are certified eco-friendly. We use the Raypath method, which allows us to clean our rooms without chemicals, using vinegar and Marseille soap. A deeper cleaning is performed with a steam cleaner to clean all rooms and surfaces. This reduces our use of plastic packaging for cleaning products, reduces the transportation required for their delivery, and also eliminates the need for cleaning products within the hotel.

Consequently, we do not use artificially scented products, harsh carpet cleaners, chemical air fresheners, corrosive chemicals, or allergenic products.

In addition, guests may request that their room not be cleaned daily.

 

Water and Electricity Conservation

Reduce water and energy consumption by encouraging guests to reuse towels.

Meticulously maintain facilities to minimize water leaks.

Only run washing machines and dishwashers when fully loaded.

Change bed linen only upon request or when visibly soiled.

Use water-saving faucets and showerheads.

Install light bulbs Energy-efficient LED lighting in 80% of our premises.

Installation of motion detectors in the hotel corridors.

Limitation of temperature thresholds for heating and air conditioning in guest rooms and common areas.

Use of double glazing in 100% of guest rooms.

Monthly reading of our water, gas, and electricity meters for better monitoring of our consumption

 

Bathroom

Provide dispensers of organic liquid soap to minimize waste.

Use recycled toilet paper.

 

Waste reduction and sorting

Elimination of single-use dishes

Removal of shampoo and shower gel tubes from bathrooms to reduce our waste

Sorting within the hotel (glass, plastic, metal, paper/cardboard, and wood)

Implementation of a compartmentalized bin in the rooms to encourage sorting

How to act in favor of the environment?

Adopting simple daily actions can make a big difference for our planet. Here are some eco-friendly tips:

 

Save energy

• Unplug your devices : Phone chargers, cameras, computers, etc., consume energy even when they are not in use. Remember to unplug them to avoid the risk of fire.
• Manage your heating : Lower the heating if you sleep with the windows open or if you are away.
• Avoid standby mode : Devices in standby mode consume a lot of energy. Turn them off completely.
• Turn off the lights: Remember to turn off the lights when leaving a room.

Recycling

• Sort your waste: Use the appropriate bins for plastic bottles, cans, cardboard, etc.
• Glass and batteries: Place your glass bottles near your recycling bin. Collection bowls for used batteries are available at reception.
• Paper and other waste: Use recycled paper and dispose of non-recyclable waste in the regular bins.
