Our Paris Nord Aubervilliers hotel is home to two low-carbon mock up bedrooms which the development team have now completed. You may have seen pictures of the low-carbon room before but we’ve since made a few changes including a new ceiling to floor curtain with pelmet that runs the full length of the wall to block out the light as well as small tweaks to the layout plus our sustainable wood is now a darker shade, giving the room a more pleasing look.
How did we get to this new design? We conducted extensive independent research with over 4,000 users of budget hotels. Participants were presented with various room designs and asked to share their preferences. Our tartan patterns weren’t liked by most people but urban-inspired designs did well. The winning design features an expansive cityscape with highlights of easy orange, incorporating iconic buildings from cities across Europe, aligning with our ethos, "and the city is yours”. Switching out laminate wood for natural sustainably sourced boards is a big win for low carbon too!
Guest feedback has been great and we look forward to rolling out the new room design for future new and refurbished hotels.
