Driven by a passion for hospitality, Esprit de France aims to go beyond the mere execution of its profession and embrace purposeful missions. Heritage can be discovered just as much outside, around our finest addresses, as inside, at the heart of our hotels. Through our rituals and gestures, our teams act as cultural ambassadors of this art of living.

As a player in the tourism industry, we fully recognize the critical importance of climate preservation. It is vital, for both our guests and our business, to continue and step up our efforts in this area.

Certifies properties : As proof of our concrete commitment, our Hôtel la Tamise proudly holds the Green Key label, the leading international environmental certification for tourist accommodation and dining.

Carbon trajectory (-42%) : Following a comprehensive carbon assessment, which includes our guests’ travel (Scope 3), we are striving to reduce our footprint by 42% by 2030, in accordance with the Paris Agreement.

Water conservation (-40%) : Through rigorous consumption management and leak detection, we have successfully reduced our water consumption per guest night by 40% since 2020. In addition, our Parisian hotels participate in the “Here, I choose Paris tap water” initiative and are committed to providing water to anyone who asks for it, whether guests or not. 

Zero plastic and zero waste objective : Committed to the Paris City Council’s “Pari(s) du zéro plastique” program, we have eliminated single-use plastics from the guest experience in our Parisian hotels, replacing them with recyclable or compostable alternatives. On the culinary side, we aim to achieve zero waste by prioritizing homemade, made-to-order, and bulk items. In our Parisian hotels, our bio-waste is collected for recycling and recovery. As part of this approach, all of our commercial partners are signatories to our Responsible Purchasing Charter, which ensures compliance with labor laws as well as the reduction of our carbon and environmental footprint.

Because hospitality is above all a human adventure, we care about the professional fulfillment of our employees and actively support causes that are close to our hearts.

Solidarity actions : We proudly support Un Hôtel pour mes Parents, a solidarity initiative led by the Fondation Comyces. By making our vacant rooms available, our properties offer overnight stays to parents of children hospitalized far from home. This essential initiative helps maintain family bonds during difficult times while bringing a deeply human meaning to our spaces.  

Knowledge transfer and training : Each year, we support numerous young people through work-study programs and professional training contracts. Our teams also benefit from ongoing training related to their profession, sustainable development, and occupational health and safety. 

Diversity, inclusion and dialogue : We make the diversity of our team members an asset in serving our guests. We ensure full gender equality and facilitate the inclusion of people with disabilities by adapting our offerings.

At Esprit de France, we view sustainability as a collective journey and share our love of culture, heritage, and local businesses with our guests. 

Sustainable Tourism : To encourage our travelers to consume locally and responsibly, our teams share their best addresses for eco-friendly and responsible shops, services, and restaurants.

Prioritizing Satisfaction : The comfort of everyone is our priority. This commitment is reflected in an average satisfaction score of 8.7/10 given by our guests in 2023.  

Showcasing Heritage : Through the Esprit de France Club, which brings together owners of residences with a strong identity, we protect history, art, and historic stonework. But heritage is also experienced from within, gesture after gesture, through the rituals that make a stay so special: a glass of champagne upon arrival, a gourmet afternoon treat, or a poem slipped onto the pillow. Our teams, acting as true cultural ambassadors, share this word-of-mouth France to bring the spirit of the places to life down to the smallest detail.
