Triple Eco-Responsibility: Le Cavendish Awarded the Green Key for the 3rd Consecutive Year!

At Hotel Le Cavendish, we believe that luxury and the historic elegance of 1897 can — and must — go hand in hand with environmental respect. We are immensely proud to announce that we have been awarded the Green Key label for the third year in a row.

What is the Green Key label?

The Green Key is the leading international environmental label for tourist accommodations. It requires meeting strict criteria regarding water and energy management, waste reduction, and responsible purchasing. It is more than just a plaque at our entrance; it is a promise kept daily by our entire team.

Why this label matters to you, our guests:

  1. A Meaningful Stay: By choosing Le Cavendish, you are supporting an establishment that actively works to reduce its carbon footprint.

  2. Quality on Your Plate: Our breakfast features local, organic, and homemade products, significantly reducing transportation impact.

  3. Preserved Comfort: We prove that high-end 4-star service can coexist with optimized resource management (LED lighting, water savers, elimination of single-use plastics).

A Long-Term Commitment

This third consecutive certification validates our long-term vision. Each year, we strive to push our initiatives further, from staff training to the rigorous selection of our local partners in Cannes.
