Sustainability with Soul
At The Albus, sustainability isn’t a trend – it’s a way of life, woven into every layer of our hospitality. From reducing food waste and sourcing organic, local, and fair-trade products to smart waste separation and thoughtful linen policies – it’s the small choices that make a big impact.
But we also think big. We've invested in a state-of-the-art, fully electric heating and cooling system, eliminating the need for fossil fuels. We choose Dutch-made beds over overseas imports and use LED lighting throughout the hotel – combining style with conscious living.
We proudly support War Child, a non-profit organization dedicated to giving children in war zones a future filled with hope. It may mean slightly less profit, but it creates far greater value – for our planet, our people, and the generations to come.
Because true responsibility starts with yourself. And at The Albus, we live that commitment – every single day.

Sustainable Style – at The Albus
At The Albus, modern comfort meets mindful living. As the first hotel in Europe to operate completely gas-free, we run on 100% green electricity – meaning zero CO₂ emissions.
We proudly hold the Green Key Gold certification, thanks to our energy-efficient LED lighting, water-saving rain showers, and smart waste reduction efforts.
Our commitment goes beyond the environment. As a founding member of the Green Hotel Club and proud sponsor of War Child, we actively support a better future for both people and planet.
A stay at The Albus is more than just luxurious – it’s luxury with purpose.
We believe no child should be part of the war. Still, more than 160 million children are growing up in war zones and this number is steadily growing. Organisation War Child takes the children out of those areas. We are a proud sponsor of War Child for many years.
Do you also want to help a child in a war zone?
