There’s only one thing closer to our hearts than our guests: our environment! That’s why we’ve worked hard to make Boutiquehotel Stadthalle the first city hotel with a zero energy balance. What does that mean? It’s simple. By using photovoltaics and solar energy, and by doing without energy-guzzling appliances, The Boutiquehotel Stadthalle is now able to produce as much energy per year as it consumes. Of course, as a guest, you don’t need to worry about all the effort that goes into this. Quite the contrary. We’ve turned our idyllic courtyard into a peaceful oasis – in the heart of a vibrant capital.
