Green Key

 In 2015, 2016 and 2017, we proudly achieved to obtain the international "Green Key" label for operating environmentally friendly and sustainable a tourist facility.

 

Living in Brûsel, Urban B&B is a top eco friendly and sustainable Guesthouse in Brussels. We are alle encouraged to do our bit for the environment. If we do it at home why should it be different when we travel? Whether you are on businesss or leisure trip, it makes parfectly sense to stay at a green Guesthouse to limit your ecological footprint!

We aim to:

- Reduce energy and water consumption through eco-shower heads.- Increase green mobility by promoting public trnasportation, walking, biking ...
- Enhance de use of sustainable food in our breakfast room and at the occasion of dinners: by using and presenting seasonal, local, fair-trade, home-made products.
