Sustainability that Lives in every Detail—The Mercure Zurich City Hotel

Being green isn’t an add-on at the Mercure Zurich City Hotel. It's embedded in the hotel’s operations and philosophy. Holding both the Swisstainable III label and the Green Sign certification, the hotel doesn’t just follow trends—it sets standards.

The building of the Mercure Zurich City Hotel meets the Minergie standard, a Swiss certification for energy-efficient buildings. As a result, the hotel uses significantly less energy than a typical building and produces fewer CO₂ emissions, reducing its environmental impact over the long term.

For guests, the effect is simple but noticeable: comfortable temperatures, quiet rooms, and clean air—combined with the knowledge that their stay is more environmentally friendly.

Sustainability also means taking care of people—the team, the guests, and the neighborhood. That’s why the Mercure Zurich City Hotel encourages conscious choices, such as towel reuse programs and offering local menu options. Because in the end, sustainability is not just a system—it’s a culture.

The Mercure Zurich City Hotel is owned and managed by the Chocolate on the Pillow Group. As a multi-brand hotel operator, the Chocolate on the Pillow Group operates at strategically located sites in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and has a diverse brand portfolio with various operator concepts. Acting responsibly towards all stakeholders also includes our Group-wide sustainability strategy. This bundles our efforts and measures towards sustainability in the areas of ecology, social affairs and economy. The GSTC-compliant GreenSign Level 4 certification reflects the genuine implementation of our sustainability ideas.
