A green future
For quite some time, Van der Valk Hotel Leusden has been aware of sustainable entrepreneurship, and this is noticeable in our daily operations. Several initiatives and actions have been implemented to reduce waste production and decrease water consumption and paper usage.

Greening in the Netherlands
Van der Valk Hotel Leusden-Amersfoort works with Green Stay. With this concept, as a guest, you can choose to make a positive contribution to greening the Netherlands. If you choose to skip your interim cleaning during your stay, we will plant a tree on your behalf in the Valkenbos.
By choosing our Valkenbos initiative, you play a crucial role in revitalizing the Valkenbos. With each overnight stay without a towel change, you contribute to the replanting of our 40-hectare forest, which has been in our possession since 1979.
Not only do you support CO2 storage - with one tree absorbing approximately one ton of CO2 during its lifecycle - but you also strengthen our commitment to sustainable business practices.
Your decision has a direct impact: for every saving on your cleaning, we will plant a new tree, contributing to our goal of planting 10,000 trees annually.
How do you choose Green Stays before your stay?
You will receive an email from us two days before arrival. Through this email, you can indicate that you choose Green Stays. The reception will automatically be notified and will note this in your reservation.
How do you choose Green Stays upon arrival at the hotel?
When checking in, you can inform the reception that you would like to choose Green Stays.
How do you choose Green Stays during your stay?
Hang the 'Green Stays' door hanger (found in your hotel room) on the outside of your room door by 12:00 noon. Our housekeeping will then skip cleaning your room and report this to the reception for administrative processing.
Hotel rooms
Employees are consciously handling the changing of linens and towels. Water saving is standard on the faucets in the bathroom, and in addition, there are LED and energy-saving lamps present.
Paper usage
The paper used within Van der Valk Hotel Leusden is printed on both sides.
Brochures, folders, and other printed materials, as well as invoices, are printed on paper with an international environmental certification.
Confirmations and invoicing are sent by email as much as possible.
Solar panels
Our hotel proudly uses solar panels on a large part of our roof to generate sustainable energy. This way, we can meet our energy needs in an environmentally friendly manner.
