We are certified and act sustainably
We are certified sustainable by GreenSign and achieved level four out of five in July 2024. We were also awarded the Viabono environmental certificate in Gold in May 2026. We have many more visions in mind and will implement them step by step. Stay tuned!
Our contribution to
our environment
Employees
Our employees are trained to act sustainably - from paper-free reservation confirmations to waste separation. This is how we live our sustainability concept every day.
Mobility
As a benefit for our employees, we offer both a job ticket and the option of a job bike to promote environmentally friendly mobility and healthy living.
Energy
We use 100% green electricity and a solar system. A centrally controlled heating system responds to our occupancy. Our energy consumption is monitored and optimized.
Water
Our water consumption is checked regularly and water flows are monitored. A water treatment plant significantly reduces the use of PET bottles.
Suppliers
We pay attention to regional products from suppliers and avoid plastic wherever possible. In this way, we focus on environmentally conscious procurement and reduce plastic waste.
Food
To minimize food waste, we buy as needed and work with «Too good to go” to put leftover food to good use.
CO₂ compensation
Guests can book a CO₂ offset on site or online to make their trip more climate-friendly and contribute to environmental protection.
Storey bar
Instead of a minibar, our guests will find a floor bar with local snacks and drinks, which is not only regional but also more sustainable.
Recycling
We only use recycled paper and environmentally friendly materials, such as toilet paper made from Tetra packs, to achieve our sustainability goals.
Cleaning
By offering to dispense with daily room cleaning, our guests save resources. We also use biodegradable cleaning agents.
Community
To support the local community, we promote Leipzig beekeepers and thus help to strengthen local biodiversity and sustainability.

Sustainable responsibility
"Where pampering becomes a principle" is our guiding philosophy at Hotel Michaelis, and we bring it to life every day with dedication and genuine hospitality.
For us, hospitality means more than excellent service. It also includes our social, environmental, and economic responsibility. We believe that a hotel should not only pursue economic success but also serve as a role model for sustainable practices. That is why we are committed to conserving resources, minimizing our environmental impact, and conducting business responsibly.
Our efforts have been recognized through prestigious sustainability certifications. In May 2026, we proudly achieved the Viabono Gold environmental certification. In addition, we were awarded the GreenSign certificate at Level 4 out of 5 in July 2024. These distinctions reflect our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring both the well-being of our guests and a more sustainable future for the hospitality industry.
The company
Michaelis has been shaping Leipzig's hotel and gastronomy scene since 1997. A small hotel developed into a versatile company with first-class hotels, event catering and gourmet locations. Today, Michaelis stands for excellent hospitality.
