Sustainability

Original Sokos Hotel Viru has a Green Key environmental certification. At the hotel, we follow Green Key criteria in areas such as energy and water use, waste sorting and housekeeping.

  • Our employees receive environmental training related to their work.
  • We sort waste and send recyclable materials for recycling.
  • Most hotel rooms have water-saving showers and taps.
  • We use eco-labelled cleaning products and sort the waste generated during housekeeping. Many rooms also have waste sorting bins.
  • We use LED lighting throughout the hotel and replace older light sources with LED lights whenever possible.
  • We provide our guests with information on using bicycles, electric scooters, public transport and electric taxis.
  • Our restaurants offer local, organic and plant-based options.
  • The hotel’s ventilation, refrigeration and other equipment is maintained regularly.
  • Guests can choose to opt out of daily housekeeping.
  • Towels are changed according to the guest’s preference – a towel left on the rack is not automatically replaced with a clean one.
  • We have removed mini bottles from the minibars and left the refrigerators available for guests to use.

How you can help save resources during your stay:

  • turn off the water while shampooing or soaping in the shower
  • use a cup when brushing your teeth
  • leave your towel on the rack if you would like to use it again
  • switch off the lights and take your room key with you when leaving the room
  • start with a smaller portion at breakfast – you can always take more
  • sort your waste according to the hotel’s instructions
  • ask reception about public transport and other ways to get around
