Commitment to Sustainability
The new B5 Boutique Hotel is committed to a comprehensive sustainability strategy, focusing on ecological responsibility and innovative practices. To minimize carbon footprint, the original building was preserved and fully renovated following the CECE B plus standards, utilizing eco-friendly materials known for their durability and recyclability.
By harnessing modern technologies such as photovoltaics and heat pumps, the hotel has completely transitioned away from fossil fuels. Enhanced insulation not only ensures guest comfort but also contributes to energy efficiency, while automated sun protection further reduces energy consumption. Water-saving fixtures, energy-efficient appliances, and a robust recycling program are additional measures taken to minimize resource usage.
Furthermore, the hotel promotes eco-friendly transportation options by providing guests with the complimentary Ticino Card, granting free access to public transit and encouraging sustainable exploration of the region.
In addition to its environmental efforts, the B5 Boutique Hotel prioritizes social sustainability. Through partnerships with local businesses, it supports the Lugano economy and provides a platform for international artists to showcase their talents. The hotel also strives to create an inclusive environment where all guests feel welcome and valued, regardless of their background or identity.
