« Sustainability is a top priority for us, and our CSR policy reflects this commitment. We focus on continuous improvement, ensuring that our hotels are always in a state of renewal. We believe that a hotel should always appear as though it’s only six months old. This means that when you visit after six months, it should feel like you’re stepping into a brand new hotel. This philosophy applies not only to what guests experience directly but also to every behind-the-scenes operation.
We have a wide range of internal procedures in place focused on sustainability, such as recycling and education. Our goal is to ensure that everything we use, from household products to our practices, aligns with our commitment to cleanliness and sustainability.
Regarding air conditioning, we follow green key aspect to ensure sustainability. The air conditioning systems are set to maintain a maximum of 22°C. In the winter, the systems heat the rooms to a maximum of 22°C, and in the summer, they cool the rooms to the same temperature. This aligns with the green key certification, which mandates these energy-efficient standards. » – Matilde Conejo-Mir, Cluster Manager Motel One Paris

With regard to the brand’s strategy, Matilde Conejo-Mir also emphasised that Motel One’s overall strategy is to develop its international clientele More than half of the hotels are in Germany, around fifty in all, but the other half are abroad, in 14 countries. The brand’s overall strategy is therefore to continue to expand internationally.

The company participates in open days and trade fairs to provide insights into the different roles in the hotel industry and support workforce inclusion.
We regularly host open days for young people to introduce them to the variety of roles in the hotel industry. Many people are unaware of the different jobs and operations that take place behind the scenes in our sector. During these open days, we offer insights into all the different professions within the industry.
We participate in several specialized trade fairs, including a unique festival organized by France Travail. This festival aims to support the integration of people into the workforce, not just those with visible or invisible disabilities, but also individuals who may face discrimination for physical reasons or who are distanced from employment opportunities.- Matilde Conejo-Mir, Cluster Manager at Motel One Paris
