Tips for a sustainable visit
Sustainable action is at the heart of Original Sokos Hotel Kupittaa's operations. We have compiled tips for you on how to make your visit more responsible.
As our guest, you can help us operate sustainably by taking actions such as:
- Drink clean tap water. In our rooms, you will find drinking glasses, and in the restaurant, water is served in pitchers. In the Deli and sauna, water is also available in glass pitchers. At breakfast and lunch, filtered and carbonated tap water is also offered.
- Choose local, organic, and vegetarian options available at breakfast and in our restaurant. Our staff will be happy to provide more information!
- During buffet meals, only take as much as you can eat. You can always get more!
- Instead of physical gifts and shopping, opt for experiences like restaurant gift cards.
- Explore the city by bike or use public transportation! Our hotel is located near the railway line and has excellent local bus connections.
- Take a trip to nearby attractions – have a picnic in Kupittaa Park, explore the beautiful Ruissalo, or enjoy the Halistenkoski hiking route. Our reception is happy to answer questions and provide tips about the local area.
- You decide the cleaning schedule for your room. We clean rooms for guests staying longer every third night unless otherwise arranged. If you wish, you can have your room cleaned more frequently.
- Leave your towel on the hook and reuse it.
- Turn off the shower while applying shampoo or soap.
- Use a cup when brushing your teeth.
- Sort your waste. Your room has two waste bins, with one dedicated to sorting different types of waste. Other items, like empty bottles, can be left on the room's desk, and we'll recycle them for you! More information can be found on the room's TV info.
- Turn off unnecessary lights. By taking your key card with you or raising it, all lights in your room will turn off.
- Prefer stairs over elevators.
- Avoid using disposable and individually packaged products.
- Take advantage of ResQ Club’s surplus food offerings.
- Make the most of local expertise by visiting restaurants, theaters, bowling alleys, and other businesses in Turku during your stay.
