Hôtels au Naturel
HERE ARE THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE BRAND
The Hôtels au Naturel label was created in 1998 by hoteliers that pioneered sustainable tourism and the promotion of their natural parks, in association with the Federation of Regional Natural Parks. The Hôtels au Naturel brand brings together 17 establishments located across 8 different regional natural parks, and 2 more on the border of the Ballons des Vosges and Causses du Quercy regional natural parks. All are members of the Hôtels au Naturel group.

It is located in an exceptional area such as a regional natural park, a national park, an area that will gain such a designation in the future, or an area that borders such a zone. (e.g. classified as UNESCO World Heritage Site, etc.)

ECO-RESPONSABLE
& AMBASSADORS
FOR THE REGION
The hoteliers propose simple eco-responsible practices. They are ambassadors for their areas
THE 3 FOUNDING PILLARS OF THE BRAND ARE
TERRITORY
These hotels contribute to the development and promotion of their area through their services. They offer products and services that enhance local cultural heritage through history, architecture…
THE HUMAN ASPECT
Man’s expertise, the role he plays and the control he exerts, are all essential factors in the welcoming process. Our professionals share their passion and rely on local solidarity.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
And enhancing its riches: service providers are committed to preserving natural environments, flora and fauna. Furthermore, they are involved in maintaining the quality of the landscapes specific to each area and region.
Through its day-to-day operations and beyond environmental management, the group focuses on hoteliers’ actions that favour the development and enhancement of the local area.
This is reflected in the partnerships established with the local economic players (craftsmen, shopkeepers, farmers, tourism service providers, etc.), but also in the enhancement of heritage (built, environmental, economic, etc.), communication with guests and encouraging them to discover these heritages and meet local stakeholders, and the promotion of all outdoor activities, except for motorised recreation.
Every Hôtel au Naturel has its own character, its own atmosphere. Each one is different to the next, thanks to each hotelier’s independence.
They all share the same philosophy, however, the same vision of responsible tourism, the same proximity to the region, the same desire to share the pleasure of living there. |
They use renewable energies, depending on their geographical location, real estate opportunities and administrative constraints. |
