LOS ANGELES, CA – As the first Green Globe certified hotel in Germany, the Hôtel Concorde Berlin, offers a unique way of rewarding guests who support the environment.

All guests who book Hôtel Concorde Berlin’s Green Berlin package and choose train transport will receive an upgrade and free bike rental. On arrival, guests present their valid train ticket at check-in and receive an upgrade to the next highest available room category. To further help in protecting the environment, as well as enjoying sightseeing in the city, guests also receive a free rental bike for 24 hours.

Hôtel Concorde Berlin general manager, Mr. Carsten Colmorgen, is proud to be a trend-setter of Germany’s hotel industry. “Acting responsibly towards our environment and resources can be useful and fun at the same time,” he said.
Green Globe Certification CEO, Mr. Guido Bauer said: “This is a simple and yet elegant solution for rewarding hotel customers who are making their own efforts to support lowering emissions in the travel industry.

“Providing a real benefit for people to change their behavior is the best incentive for encouraging more sustainable travel patterns. It is easy to overlook the individual choices we make, but Hôtel Concorde Berlin reminds us that everything we do makes a difference and collectively can add up to significant changes.”

Since 1970, the Concorde Hotel Group has taken a responsible, coherent approach toward all the aspects of business that deliver sustainability. The group has always integrated environmental, social, and corporate values at the core of its managerial program and is proud to be Green Globe certified.
At Concorde Hotels & Resorts, being sustainable means above all guaranteeing the respect of human and workers’ rights across the associates. It means actively promoting staff training, diversity, and jobs for seniors and for the disabled. Hotels naturally consume huge amounts of resources, such as electricity and water, and generate waste. To counter this inherent trait, the objective is to limit impact on the environment and leave a considerably smaller carbon footprint.
