Arabella Hospitality is committed to sustainability
Our corporate social responsibility matters to us
We are well aware that guests, investors, and the general public expect to see a greater focus on sustainability within hotel operations. And that applies to our hotel partners too. As a business entity and operator, Arabella Hospitality is committed to making business operations more sustainable and documenting our social and environmental efforts.
On the island of Mallorca, we have been enhancing our endeavors to improve our use of resources at our hotels and golf courses for some time now. We are also careful to equip new developments (such as our Son Vida Residences) with sustainable technology.
Meanwhile, in Munich, we support a local children’s charity, the Josef Schörghuber Foundation for Munich Children, which has been helping socially disadvantaged children and teenagers to go on vacation and take part in leisure activities since 1995. We raise awareness to this charity by placing donation boxes in prominent locations in our hotel reception areas. You can find out more about the charity by heading to: muenchnerkinder.de.
