We are therefore delighted to be hosting a charity event ‘Art Empire’ on 15th September 2024, which combines our commitment to the art and culture scene in our neighbourhood with an important social cause. Our hotel will become a venue on this day from 11.00 am to 5.00 pm, where artists from the neighbourhood will present their works and offer our visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in their world free of charge. The artworks on display include works by Klaus Barkowsky, Fiete Frahm, Volker Hämmerling, Agnieszka Pasek and works by the Millerntor Gallery.

But it's not just about the art - it's about the people behind it and those who benefit from this exhibition. The funds raised will go to the ‘Schlumper’ studio, which provides creative space for artists with disabilities, and to the Millerntor Gallery, which is passionate about social justice and cultural diversity. With this event, we want to use the power of art to build bridges - between people in our neighbourhood and beyond.

Social sustainability lives not only in our external commitment, but also in the heart of our company. It is particularly important to us that our employees feel comfortable with us, that they enjoy and are motivated in their work and feel part of an appreciative community. But how do you manage to fulfil these high standards in a dynamic hotel business with a wide variety of working hours, different departments and a constantly running operation?

At first glance, this may seem like a huge challenge - almost impossible, you might think. But we have enlisted professional support to help us achieve this goal: We have taken an important step with the introduction of the ‘Hotelkit’ HR management tool. Developed by an experienced hotelier and specially tailored to the needs of the hotel industry, Hotelkit allows us to easily collect information, files, daily tasks and news in one place and make them equally accessible to all employees. This not only optimises communication and collaboration within the team, but also noticeably strengthens it.

This centralised platform makes every team member feel more involved and valued. Because we are convinced that a positive working atmosphere not only increases satisfaction, but also offers numerous other benefits - from saving resources and working more efficiently to a more sustainable everyday life.

And the best thing about it? These improvements help us to offer our guests even more unforgettable experiences. Because at the end of the day, satisfied employees are the key to happy guests - and together we are shaping a sustainable and successful future.

With these two initiatives - supporting our local art scene and strengthening togetherness within our team - we want to show that social sustainability is more than just a buzzword for us. It is at the heart of our philosophy, which aims to create an environment in which people can develop, support and grow together. We are proud to take on this responsibility and look forward to working with you to make a positive impact and make our world a better place.
