Standing as a modern and elegant place that offers guests an ideal refuge in the heart of the hustle and bustle of the French Riviera, the AC Hotel Nice is located on the Promenade des Anglais, in Nice. It is the perfect starting point to explore the city of Nice, and it is also a quiet space to recharge. In summer, relax by the pool perched on the 8th floor, and indulge yourself in delicious tapas on the splendid panoramic rooftop of 600m2 superbly renovated. True heaven !
The Green Key is the first international environmental label for tourist accommodation and restaurants, recognizing establishments that adopt effective environmental management and responsible practices across precisely 119 criteria spread over 7 themes.
By showcasing these environmentally friendly initiatives, the Green Key certification plays a crucial role in encouraging the tourism industry to adopt more sustainable and responsible approaches, while providing a reference of excellence to stimulate continuous improvement in environmental performance.
To meet the strict criteria of the Green Key label and in a continuous improvement initiative, the hotel has undertaken several concrete actions in recent months, including:
Reduction of plastic waste :
∙ Elimination of individual plastic bottles in rooms in favor of mineral water packaged in Tetra Pak cartons.
∙ Water fountains are now a sustainable alternative to bottled water at the reception and in seminar rooms.
∙ In rooms, guests use dispensers for natural and vegan cosmetic products from the Korres brand, replacing individual single-use plastic packaging.
Control of water consumption :
∙ 30% reduction in the water flow of the hotel’s overall water consumption. Smart waste management :
∙ “Zero Waste” goal for our seminars and banquets.
Optimization of energy resources :
∙ Recent and ongoing works improve the building’s performance, particularly in terms of insulation and piping.
Promotion of sustainable mobility :
∙ The hotel has 18 parking spaces equipped with charging stations for electric cars in its private parking lot.
∙ Bicycles and electric scooters are available for guests of the hotel.
Eco-friendly local partnerships :
∙ Sponsorship of beehives through the “Un toit pour les abeilles” (A Roof for Bees) movement for local and bee-friendly beekeeping.
∙ Partnerships with the “Paddle Cleaner” association to collaborate in cleaning up waste along the Mediterranean coast using paddle boards.
“This is a fantastic achievement that demonstrates our commitment to sustainable operations for the preservation of environmental resources. We are privileged to be located in the Mediterranean, at the heart of a geographically rich region; awareness and sustainable management efforts are essential to protect these unique ecosystems.
Our teams have made tremendous efforts to succeed in the rigorous application and audit process of the Green Key. I want to congratulate everyone involved.”
Nicolas Martin, Director of the AC Hotel Nice
