A commitment to nature and culture
At Hotel can Garay, we are committed to sustainable and responsible tourism respecting the natural environment, the region’s cultural heritage and the local community. From our Art Nouveau hotel, we work on a daily basis to reduce our environmental impact and support the local economy in Les Planes d’Hostoles and across La Garrotxa.
LED lighting throughout the hotel to reduce power consumption
Renewable energy: 18 solar panels installed to improve energy efficiency
Responsible water consumption by optimising use and avoiding losses and providing guests with recommendations.
Eco-friendly toiletries and cleaning products
Waste reduction through recycling garden and vegetable waste for compost
On-site eco kitchen garden, where we grow our own vegetables in the volcanic soil
Use of local quality suppliers for products such as charcuterie, cheese and meat from the nearby Vall d’en Bas
Seasonal and sustainable cuisine, based on fresh and local ingredients
Conservation of the architectural legacy: the Art Nouveau hotel building has been carefully restored to preserve its original style
