Book your sustainable hotel in Madrid with Good.travel and enjoy eco-friendly and socially responsible accommodations that align with your values.
Are you a sustainably-oriented traveler looking for a hotel in Madrid that aligns with your values? Look no further than Good.travel, a hotel booking platform for sustainable hotels that are recognized for their efforts in protecting the environment, supporting local communities, and promoting diversity and inclusion.
Good.travel has established a list of rigorous criteria that each hotel must meet to be considered for inclusion. We group them into "Purpose Categories," making it easy for travelers to search for accommodations that align with their values.
Once a hotel has been selected, we ask for feedback from our users. This feedback allows us to continuously assess each hotel's performance and ensure that they remain true to their commitments. Any hotels that do not live up to our standards are asked to step up their game or risk losing their recognition.
To ensure a consistent level of impact across all recognized hotels, there is also a set of threshold criteria that each hotel must comply with or explain why they cannot.
We take purpose seriously and understand that it is not an exact science. That's why we've created a platform where you can also nominate your own gems when you travel. Together, we can create a more sustainable and responsible tourism industry.
Check out some examples of sustainable hotels in Madrid below, all available to book through Good.travel.
URSO Hotel & Spa is a boutique luxury hotel designed by renowned architect and designer Antonio Obrador that opened in Madrid in 2014. The hotel boasts a centralized solar energy system that provides 65% of the energy needed for hot water and heating throughout the hotel, reducing their carbon footprint. The URSO team is also working hard to substantially reduce the use of plastic, intending to create a zero-plastic environment in the hotel. The hotel works closely with various foundations to make a positive impact on the local community. For example, the snacks in the mini-bar are sourced from the ‘A La Par’ Foundation, which helps people in need and with special needs. Used cooking oil from the kitchens is recycled through a foundation that donates its profits to women who are victims of gender-based violence. Furthermore, all Nespresso coffee capsules are composted and given to a foundation that supports people at risk of social exclusion.
ARTIEM Madrid is part of a family-run hotel chain that encompasses the natural, friendly character of the Mediterranean. The hotel chain's three pillars are FreshPeople, FreshPlanet, and FreshProfit, and they believe that the only way to grow is hand in hand with the environment. ARTIEM focuses all of its effort and enthusiasm on being the best company for the world, with commitments to grow by enriching the environment in which they are located. They are part of a community of more than 3000 companies worldwide who have achieved B-Corp status, subsequently becoming the first hotel chain in Europe to join the B-Corp community. Through this initiative, ARTIEM aims to contribute to improving our environment by putting the people and the planet at the center.
SLEEP’N Atocha is another hotel that puts people and the planet at the center of everything they do. SLEEP'N Atocha has been running carbon-neutral stays since 2019 and is Spain's first registered B-Corp. The hotel aims to contribute to improving the environment by working hand in hand with their suppliers, partners, and customers. SLEEP'N Atocha is an official member of TheCode.Org, which protects children from sexual exploitation in travel and tourism. The hotel also donates €5 to the Reforesta Association for tree planting if a guest waives the room cleaning service, and the operational team gives priority to local products and services, promoting the authenticity of the region and reducing the negative impacts of transported goods.
Muralto Madrid Princesa is a hotel that takes small but practical steps toward sustainable tourism. The hotel has undertaken initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint, including generating 65% of its domestic hot water from solar panels, replacing cleaning products with new, less contaminating, biodegradable products, and eliminating single-use plastic bottles in 2019. The hotel has also partnered with Aguas Medita to reduce plastic and glass bottle consumption at its buffet breakfast and front desk.
