At Debaines we believe that luxury and sustainability go hand in hand. Our commitment to creating an environmentally conscious hotel extends beyond the aesthetics — it permeates every aspect of our operations. From energy optimization to locally sourced materials, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint while offering an unparalleled guest experience.
The Debaines Hotel is designed to operate entirely free of fossil fuels. We’ve implemented complex systems like heat pump exchanges, highly optimized air-conditioning and sanitary water generation to maximize energy efficiency. Additionally, our floor-to-ceiling windows are equipped with heat and radiation isolation and are complemented by smart exterior shades and modern fabric blackouts.
Our kitchen operates with energy-saving induction systems, reducing the need for extensive air-conditioning and maintaining a comfortable temperature of 25°C. Throughout the hotel, we have installed LED lighting, energy-efficient elevators, and smart switches that automatically cut off air-conditioning when windows are open. Even our minibars are designed to consume minimal energy.
The hotel features a central water treatment system that provides pure drinking water from all faucets, reducing the need for bottled water. Additionally, our cleaning processes use fewer detergents, and we have installed optimized showerheads and faucets to further minimize water usage. Our bathrooms are equipped with the latest Japanese TOTO sanitary systems, which significantly cut down on both water and paper consumption.
We have eliminated the use of single-use plastics wherever possible. Our bed linens are of cotton with all natural fillings, offering allergen-free options. Laundry bags are made from linen or kraft paper, and our packaging is almost entirely recyclable. Instead of mini plastic bottles, we use refillable containers for toiletries, and our bottled water is served in reusable, locally sourced glass.
Nearly all the furniture and interior furnishings at Debaines Hotel are crafted by local artisans. From guest room furniture to beds and lighting, we’ve prioritized Chilean-made products, with some items sourced from neighboring Brazil to maintain authenticity and reduce our carbon footprint. Our ALLPAKA care products and cosmetics are natural, bio-based, and locally produced, ensuring a truly sustainable and luxurious experience for our guests.
At Debaines Hotel, sustainability is not just a trend; it is a way of ensuring that future generations can enjoy the luxuries of today, while safeguarding the environment for tomorrow.
