Durable businesses.

Charm and comfort with an eye on the future and sustainable enterprise.

A nice getaway. Enjoying the atmosphere, spending some quality time, unwinding and exploring a breathtaking region. At the hotel Zoom-Oord we do everything to make your stay a success and at the same time we try to respect nature and the environment, and we keep an eye out for animal welfare. By taking small actions, we reach a maximum effect, without compromising your comfort.

Green Key is a well-known international quality label for durable businesses in the hotel and recreation sector. This quality label symbolizes our constant efforts to minimize the ecological footprint we have as a business. In doing this, we take things one step further than regular legislation requires.

The certificate comes in three classes: bronze, silver and gold. The more environmental measures a hotel has taken, the higher the 'eco-friendly' level. Since 2014, we have the golden level.

Done Practically
An important part of the Green Key certificate is that you, our guest, are not hindered in any way by the eco-friendly actions we take. And no, we do not expect from you that you will continuously keep nature and the environment in mind. On the contrary: you will probably enjoy your holiday even more knowing you are being eco-friendly.

Our breakfast consists mainly of biological and/or fair-trade products. Biological eggs, for example, are not only much tastier and healthier for you, but also a lot more pleasant for the chicken. Our fair trade bananas do not come from plantations where they are being sprayed with toxins while they are being harvested. Our biological fair-trade tea and coffee come from plantations where fortunately no toxins are being used whatsoever. The cows that produce our biological dairy are kept in the meadow all year long.
Of the eight types of cheese we serve at breakfast, seven are organic. Our meats are partly organic and/or local products (Pas smokehouse and Ecofields).

But there is more: from eco-friendly hand soap and shampoo to low-energy appliances, atmospheric LED lighting and e-bike stations. The majority of our energy consumption is generated by solar panels. Even the fire extinguishers are filled with ECO-foam. And how about your comfort? We use gas, water, and electricity wisely, but in a way that you can still enjoy a wonderful warm shower after a long day. Also, we sort our waste as much as we can. As a guest of our hotel, you can contribute to our policy yourself, for example by using your towels multiple days and sort your waste as much as possible. This does not only enhance your welfare, but also the welfare of nature and the environment!
