Pioneers of sustainable tourism since 2001
A handful of hoteliers – one vision. That’s how it all started. About 20 years ago. At a time when sustainability pioneers were people who were ridiculed for being eco. At that time, BIO HOTELS decided to take a different decision and rethink tourism. For people and the environment. Comprehensively. All BIO HOTELS companies impress with their individuality. At the same time, they all live the same philosophy and follow harmonized standards. Organic food, natural cosmetics and green electricity are self-evident for all our BIO HOTELIERS. This and much more!

As pioneers of green tourism, BIO HOTELS® shape the market and the future of tourism.
They show how sustainability and tourism can go hand in hand. Through their operation, they actively contribute to ensuring that future generations will still have a world worth living in and enough resources.
