Sustainability

At Astoria, we believe in true sustainability. The hotel has a lot of solar panels, so we are not only investing in sustainable energy, but also in a sustainable future. During the day we generate green electricity, therefore we ensure less CO₂.

Our commitment does not stop at just solar panels. We combine solar energy with an advanced cogeneration plant that also produces energy after sunset. This is how we ensure a continuous, sustainable supply, day and night.

Our hotel is equipped with a cogeneration plant. This modern technology produces heat and electricity simultaneously, providing an efficient energy supply.

An important advantage of this PowerUnit is that it not only operates during the day, but also continues to function after sunset. This allows us to generate energy even at times when the solar panels are no longer producing output.

Our spacious parking lot is equipped with multiple charging stations, so you can charge your car carefree while enjoying a relaxing stay.

Do you choose one of our sustainable parking spaces? Then you are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and together we are contributing to cleaner, healthier air.

We also take responsibility in terms of water management. We are strongly committed to water recovery by collecting rainwater and reusing it to flush toilets.

In this way, we save precious drinking water on a daily basis and contribute to responsible and sustainable water consumption.

Discover our water faucet in the Food Corner, which has several functions. You can find still, sparkling and cold water.

By choosing our tap, together we ensure that the climate impact remains small. Refill your own water bottle as often as you like or buy one of our trendy, reusable water bottles.

Did you know that our hotel has fresh, ready-to-eat meals that you can reheat at any time?

We store these meals in our own reusable containers, so together we minimize waste. And don't worry: we're happy to take the dishes off your hands.

At Astoria, we believe that small choices make a big difference, which is why we choose a completely plastic-free breakfast buffet. Our breakfast consists of delicious fresh and homemade products, everything you need for a wonderful start to the day!

Our hotel is just a 5-minute walk from the Gent-Sint-Pieters train station, ideal for those who want carefree and sustainable travel. From the hotel you can easily reach the bustling city center of Ghent by public transport. With one of our (shared) bikes or e-steps you can be in the heart of the city in just 10 minutes.

So feel free to leave your car at home, avoid the traffic and help reduce CO₂ emissions. A small step for you, a big step towards a greener future.

Every choice we make, from energy and water management to waste sorting and local products, is thoughtful and focused on sustainability.

At Astoria Hotel, you don't just stay in comfort, you consciously choose a greener world.
