Conscious: it's your choice

Conscious Hotels strive to be as green, sustainable and eco-friendly as possible. But they're more hip than hippy. And by hip we don't mean our staff are too cool to answer the phone.

You might not even notice some of our 'green' decisions because we just quietly get on with being kind to the planet in the background. We think you're okay about that.

We offer you a few choices that might even make saving the planet fun (yes, fun, imagine that). And keep you healthy.

Hip, friendly, green & fun.

Yoghurt pots

The desk in your room is made out of recycled yoghurt pots, refridgerators and coffee cup holders. No, seriously. I don't mean we stuck them together with tape, I mean the desktop material consists of recycled plastics. Just give it a sniff.

"Consciousness will always be present, though a particular consciousness may cease. For example, the particular tactile consciousness that is present within this human body will cease when the body comes to an end. But the basic, ultimate, innermost subtle consciousness will always remain. It has no beginning, and it will have no end."

The Dalai Lama
"The Dalai Lama visted the White House and told the President he could teach him to reach a higher state of consciousness. Then after talking to George W. Bush for a few minutes, he said, 'You know what? Let's just grab lunch."

Information
Who's behind Conscious?

a) A massive faceless multinational corporation?

b) H.A.D.D.O.C.K. (Hotels Are Deadly Devices Of Criminal Knowledge) - a shadowy underground organisation?

c) Just two guys called Sam and Marco with a hospitality-related dream?

Answer: c) It's always the least obvious option, isn't it?

How did Conscious begin?

It started when Marco's wife had their daughter Giulia. Marco got worried about their baby's future. The planet was in pretty bad shape and business had to change. So Sam and Marco started looking for positive alternatives for the business they both knew inside out - hotels. They dreamed a little. They thought a lot. The two of them wanted fully sustainable hotels. They wanted stylish contemporary interiors. They wanted total comfort. They wanted healthy food choices. They wanted playful touches. They wanted Holland to win the World Cup but that didn't happen.

They wanted a lot, frankly. Lots of other stuff went on that we don't have time to go into here but, eventually, Conscious was born.
