The EU Ecolabel:
Sustainable Accommodations That Give You Peace of Mind
Our conference hotel has been awarded the EU Ecolabel. Does that mean anything to you? If not, we'd be happy to explain. This Europe-wide certification is awarded to hotels and other accommodations that are particularly environmentally friendly and meet comprehensive ecological criteria.
We are proud to hold this distinction. After all, a hotel doesn’t receive the EU Ecolabel just like that: It requires a comprehensive certification process, including compliance with strict requirements. The areas assessed include, among others, energy consumption, water consumption, waste management, and sustainable procurement. Compliance with these standards is monitored at regular intervals.
For you, our guest, a stay at our sustainable food hotel in Neuwied means lower CO₂ emissions and a more mindful use of scarce resources—all while enjoying high standards of quality without compromising on anything. You’re choosing a hotel that takes responsibility and helps shape the future.
Treat yourself to a mindful break from everyday life. A quick booking request is all it takes to plan the rest.
EU Ecolabel criteria:
Sustainability—We Live It Every Day
In order for our hotel to be awarded the EU Ecolabel, we meet a wide range of mandatory criteria that encompass all aspects of our daily operations. For us, sustainability is a guiding principle that is reflected both in our internal processes and in the overall guest experience .
The underlying requirements of the EU Ecolabel cover various areas of activity in which we meet comprehensive criteria and continuously optimize our processes.
Sustainable Management and Organization
This includes established environmental standards in our operations, a comprehensive environmental management system, and employee training. We also inform our guests about our sustainability measures so they can support them during their stay. Regular inspections and monitoring of resource consumption ensure that improvements are continuously implemented.
Energy Efficiency Throughout Hotel Operations
We place a strong emphasis on energy conservation . This includes modern, energy-efficient heating and hot-water systems, optimized air conditioning, and the use of energy-saving lighting. Automated controls help ensure that energy is used only when it is actually needed. Thanks to intelligent energy management, we are able to source 100% green electricity, about half of which is generated by our in-house photovoltaic system.
Conscious Use of Water
Clear guidelines also apply to water consumption. Water-saving fixtures in bathrooms, showers, and toilets reduce consumption. At the same time, initiatives such as the voluntary reuse of towels and bed linens help conserve resources.
Wastewater and Waste Management
Another important component is the responsible management of waste. This includes measures to reduce food waste, avoiding unnecessary single-use products, and consistent waste separation followed by recycling.
Your Stay with a Sense of Responsibility:
Sustainability That Feels Good
By choosing a hotel with the EU Ecolabel, you are making a conscious decision to support a hotel that takes responsibility without sacrificing comfort . For us, sustainability is reflected in a well-thought-out concept that makes your stay more enjoyable and, at the same time, more environmentally friendly .
For you as a guest, this offers several benefits:
- Stay overnight with a clear conscience: You'll reduce your ecological footprint without having to go without anything.
- Verified standards instead of empty promises: The EU Ecolabel stands for clear, transparent criteria and independent inspections.
- Conscious Use of Resources: Water- and energy-saving measures help conserve valuable resources without you even noticing during your stay.
- Transparency and Trust: You know exactly what standards our hotel adheres to.
- Sustainable enjoyment at breakfast: Regional and seasonal offerings ensure greater freshness and quality on your plate.
Enjoy a stay with peace of mind. We'd be happy to assist you with your planning as part of your room reservation.

The Food Hotel is a modern business hotel, where almost exclusively business travelers are accommodated during the week. The location is very good due to the proximity to the center, and the train station is also in the immediate vicinity. The rooms are modern and functionally furnished.
Great hotel with fantastic staff. Rarely have I seen the saying “the guest is king” put into practice so well. Bravo—we’d love to come back. We stayed in a Raffaello-themed room, and it was wonderful. We’ll definitely be back. The breakfast was top-notch. The staff in every department were extremely friendly and service-oriented. A fantastic stay. You really feel at home here, and the guest truly is king.

It was simply amazing! The food was incredible—a solid 10 out of 10. The guests raved about it, especially the salmon and the lamb. The bride and groom were over the moon and absolutely delighted.
Angelika Siebert, Wedding Planner
Your event space was perfect, and the food you provided was truly delicious. I’d also like to thank you for letting us enjoy the breakfast buffet as early as 6 a.m. on September 24. That was fantastic!!! All the staff were always friendly and helpful.
We felt very comfortable and were delighted with the staff in every area! All our requests were handled promptly, with great friendliness and courtesy. The food in the restaurant received high praise. The catering during the conference was also excellent—the fruit and the fully automatic coffee machine were particularly well-received. Some of the themed rooms could have been designed a bit better by the sponsors.
