Clarion Hotel Post, Gothenburg: A Grand Stay in the Heart of the City

Sustainability & Green Practices

Clarion Hotel Post is not only about style—it’s also serious about sustainability:

  • Runs a “Stay Green” program: guests staying 2 or more nights can opt out of daily room cleaning in exchange for a discount (or loyalty points/food credit), which helps reduce water, electricity & chemical usage.

  • Rooftop garden: food waste from hotel restaurants is composted (using bokashi method) to fertilize soil for growing herbs and produce used in the hotel.

  • Uses 100% renewable electricity.

  • Other green efforts: elimination of palm oil in food production; chemical-free cleaning products; recyclable staff uniforms; efforts to halve food waste and reduce emissions.

  • Sustainability rating: very high within its group (Strawberry / Nordic Choice Hotels) with goals including climate neutrality by 2030.
