Being eco-responsible does not mean giving up comfort — it's about envisioning it differently. At Relais Saint-Charles, we believe that a successful stay is one where you feel good, and where the planet does too. That's why every responsible action we take is designed to preserve the essentials: your comfort, your peace of mind, and the pleasure of staying in Paris with a light heart.
Since September 2025, Relais Saint-Charles is proud to be awarded the European Ecolabel — the most demanding environmental certification in the European Union, granted to establishments that are committed to sustainably reducing their impact on the environment. This distinction rewards concrete actions taken daily, from water and energy management to the selection of our suppliers.
For us, this label is not an end but a starting point: we continue to evolve our practices every day, to offer you a meaningful stay in Paris — for you, and for the planet.
For a more peaceful stay, we offer our guests the option to skip daily room cleaning—fewer comings and goings, more tranquility, and reduced water consumption. Our rooms are equipped with thermostatic mixers, allowing you to precisely adjust the temperature and pressure of your water as soon as you turn on the tap, for immediate comfort and less waste.
Your thermal comfort is our priority, without unnecessary excess. Each room is equipped with a circuit-breaker key card that shuts off electricity as soon as you leave the room — convenient, automatic, and you don't have to do anything. The rest adjustable between 20°C and 24°C, summer and winter, for an always pleasant temperature, without energy loss.
A clean and well-maintained hotel is also one that values its resources. Selective sorting is implemented on every floor, our used furniture is donated rather than thrown away, and our organic waste goes to a municipal compost. Behind the scenes, everything is designed so your stay remains pleasant without sacrificing our values.
For your well-being, we have chosen gentle cleaning products: white vinegar, water, and the use of a steam disinfectant (Vapodil): a machine that removes stubborn stains with water vapor, without harsh chemicals in your room. Our team undergoes annual training to perfect these daily practices — for a healthy, clean, and comfortable hotel.
Our breakfast favors the short distribution circuit: fruits and vegetables from our local greengrocer, homemade cakes prepared by a neighborhood shopkeeper, organic eggs and milk, organic fruit juices. Eating local and responsible, right from the morning — it's also our way of supporting the shopkeepers in our Parisian neighborhood.
Our commitment relies on local partners who share our values: Hôtel O'Formation for our team’s continuous training, Hôtels Solidaires for donating our used furniture and equipment, Gosselin for our seasonal fruits and vegetables, and the Bar à Cakes for our homemade pastries. Close ties, in service of a responsible approach.
