The hotel
The rooms
-
Isolation
The hotel is completely insulated to keep the cold, heat and noise to a minimum so you can enjoy your stay at a comfortable temperature and in a relaxing, quiet environment. -
Green energy
The entire hotel uses green energy. Energy-saving lamps are used throughout the hotel. Electricity use is reduced by using sensor lighting both inside and outside the hotel. -
Temperature
In winter, the air temperature inside the hotel is a comfortable 20˚C, so you have no need to alter the thermostat in your room. The heating system uses a gas absorption warming pump which is more energy efficient than a regular heating system. It uses the outside air as a heat source. -
Food and drinks
We work with organic and fair-trade products. As a result we received the 100% EKO-trade certificate. You can look forward to a healthy breakfast with a variety of biological and fair-trade products. In our lounge we offer an assortment of biological drinks and snacks as well as wines and spirits. Free coffee and tea are available throughout the day and evening. -
Green transportation
Court Garden Hotel offers green choices in transportation. The hotel has its own private parking behind the hotel and bicycles are available on site to rent. Our staff can also provide you with information about easy access to our excellent public transportation in the city and in the region. -
Renovation
During the renovation of the building superior energy saving materials were used in the heating, lighting, insulation, and air quality. The special warming pump in our heating system ensures that less gas is used and dust particles are minimal. Many materials in the existing building were recycled in the renovation. Almost all the lighting fixtures were recycled, beams and other interior materials were reused and even ceiling tiles received a new life in the back office. -
Regional
The building was completed by local experts in green solutions. The firms in the region who assisted in the renovation include: Verwol Projectbouw, FSC certified, Delft. Architect Larry de Jager, Interior designer Studio 30-36 and Heering Office, The Hague area. -
