At 23 Hotel, our vision transcends luxury and design. We position ourselves as a benchmark inurban sustainability, where theContemporary architecture blends harmoniously with environmental commitment. For theeco-travelersand thecompanies with a sustainable approach, 23 Hotel is not just a destination, but a tangible testament to how construction and hospitality can coexist in profound responsibility for the planet.
We invite you to explore our philosophy, the materials we’ve carefully selected, and the processes that make 23 Hotel a truly environmentally responsible project, without sacrificing aesthetics or comfort.
1. Eco-Friendly Philosophy in the Hotel’s DNA: An Intrinsic Commitment
From the conceptual phase, 23 Hotel was designed with a deepecological awarenessOur “natural and eco-friendly concept” is not a superficial addition, but an essence manifested in every architectural and operational element. This philosophy translates into:
- Bioclimatic Design:We incorporate design principles that optimize the building’s energy performance. This includes the use ofhighly efficient air conditioning systemsthat minimize energy consumption and dependence on non-renewable sources.
- Integrated and Active Vegetation:The presence ofvegetation on facades and terracesIt is not merely aesthetic. These “green skins” act as active elements that optimize theinternal microclimateof the building. They significantly reduce the interior temperature, mitigate the urban heat island effect and actively contribute to theair purification, creating a fresher and healthier environment for both our guests and the city (23hotel.co, tripadvisor.es, casamosaiko.com).
Every choice at 23 Hotel reflects an intrinsic commitment to the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants.
2. Low-Impact Noble Materials: Authenticity in Every Texture
Material selection is a fundamental pillar of our sustainable construction. We prioritize materials that minimize environmental impact throughout their life cycle, without compromising quality, durability, or aesthetics.
- Exposed Concrete (Bare Concrete):We chose exposed concrete as a primary structural and aesthetic element. Since it doesn’t require synthetic coatings like paint or stucco, we avoid using products that containvolatile organic compounds (VOCs)These compounds are harmful to human health and contribute to indoor air pollution. Exposed concrete, in addition to its purity, offers a raw and honest aesthetic that speaks to nature.
- Certified Wood:All wood used in furniture, flooring and architectural details comes fromcertified suppliers. This ensures that the wood has been sourced from sustainably managed forests, with an active commitment toreforestation and biodiversity conservationIn addition, we prioritize local suppliers to reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
- Stone and Natural Textiles: The rustic stoneIt is incorporated in key areas, providing authenticity and a direct connection to the land. As for textiles, we have opted for natural materials such aslinen, cotton and various plant fibersin furniture, upholstery, and decorative elements. These materials, in addition to their beauty and durability, are biodegradable and do not require intensive chemical processes in their production.
This careful selection of materials generates awarm, authentic and lasting aesthetics, which is achieved with minimal use of chemicals and high consistency with our sustainability values.
3. Integrated Greens: Living Facades and Eco-Brutalist Terraces
The integration of vegetation into the very structure of the building is a distinctive feature of 23 Hotel and a pillar of our sustainability.
- Gardens on Balconies and Green Walls:We have designed the building to incorporategardens on every balconyof the rooms and aimpressive green wall in the lobby and common terracesThese plant elements act as a second skin for the building, significantly improving thesound insulation, creating a natural barrier against urban noise. In addition, they optimize thethermal insulation, keeping interior temperatures more stable and reducing the need for artificial air conditioning.
- Biodiversity and Visual Connection:These “green lungs” not only improve comfort; they also contribute to theurban biodiversity, attracting pollinators and small species of flora and fauna. For our guests, they offer aconstant visual connection with local nature, an oasis of greenery that calms the mind and revitalizes the spirit in the middle of the city.
- Conscious Irrigation Systems:To ensure the sustainability of these vertical gardens, we have implementedefficient irrigation systems that use collected rainwaterThis practice drastically minimizes the use of drinking water, closing the water cycle and reinforcing our commitment to responsible water resource management.
4. Responsible Suppliers and Local Processes: Driving the Circular Economy
Sustainability at 23 Hotel goes beyond materials; it extends to our entire supply chain.
- Collaboration with the Region:The selection of our materials was made in close collaboration withsuppliers in the regionThis includes local carpenters who work with wood in an artisanal way, artisans who create unique pieces with natural fibers, and the extraction of stone from nearby quarries.
- Promoting the Circular Economy:This local focus not only supports communities and small businesses, but also drivescircular economyBy reducing the distances of transport of materials, we significantly reduce ourcarbon footprintassociated with logistics and fuel.
- Trained and Aware Workforce:In addition, we prioritize the hiring oflocal and trained workforce in the responsible use of resourcesThis ensures that construction processes are carried out efficiently and environmentally consciously, from on-site waste management to materials optimization.
5. Integrated Sustainable Practices: Efficiency in Every Operation
Our commitment to sustainability extends to the hotel’s daily operations, integrating practices that promote efficiency and the conscious use of resources.
- Integrated Waste Management:We have implemented a robust program ofwaste separation at source, both in guest and service areas. This facilitates therecyclingof materials such as plastic, glass, paper and cardboard, minimizing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
- Low Consumption LED Lighting:In all rooms, common areas and on our iconic rooftop, we useenergy-efficient LED lighting technologyLEDs are considerably more energy-efficient than traditional light sources and have a much longer lifespan, reducing electricity consumption and replacement waste.
- Efficient HVAC Systems:Our heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are designed for amaximum energy efficiencyThey include technologies that optimize temperature and airflow, minimizing electricity consumption and emissions, while ensuring guest comfort.
These processes not only complement green building best practices, but also set a standard for conscious and responsible hospitality.
Key Benefits of Our Commitment to Sustainability
Investing in sustainable design and construction at 23 Hotel generates tangible benefits that positively impact the environment, the local economy, and the guest experience:
| Benefit | Key Sustainable Impact |
| Lower Energy Consumption | Significant reduction in electricity bills and energy demand. |
| Improvement in Internal Comfort | More pleasant temperatures, natural ventilation, and less dependence on artificial systems. |
| Cleaner Air | Air purification through vegetation and elimination of volatile compounds (VOCs). |
