Our commitments
Responsible hospitality
You know that every daily gesture has an impact on the environment. Act positively for a reasonable consumption of energy and water. Optimize your carbon footprint. Think about people too. For Hôtel Maxim Folies, this is not a time for moralizing or restrictions, but for the pleasure of doing things better and in a concrete way. It’s also a question of comfort and well-being for you. The Hôtel Maxim Folies is proud to have been certified European Ecolabel, proof of its commitment to the environment.
All about energy
Controlled consumption
As we all know by now, energy production and consumption generate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that are responsible for global warming. Our point of view? Contribute in our own way to greater energy efficiency: Hôtel Maxim Folies wisely adjusts the temperature range of its heating and air-conditioning systems between 19 and 24 degrees.
For water
Preserving resources
Water consumption has several impacts: on energy production and on wastewater pollution. If we take the example of the water used to wash clothes, it has to be pumped, purified and then heated: an energy-intensive process. What's more, even the most respectful washing of laundry still releases pollutants into wastewater. That's why Hôtel Maxim Folies is committed to careful water consumption: during your stay, your linens will only be changed at your request.
As a further action, the bottled water available at the hotel is filtered tap water. While the production of a conventional 1-liter bottle of water actually requires consuming an average of 2 liters (including manufacturing the bottle), filtered water significantly saves resources, its container can be easily reused and it is not transported in a truck.
For recycling
Easier waste sorting
In an ideal world, everything we throw away would have a second life. But to be able to recycle, the first step is to avoid waste that is poorly sorted and potentially contaminated with non-recyclable substances. At Hôtel Maxim Folies, waste sorting is carried out carefully: to facilitate the necessary separation of packaging/paper/metal, sorting garbage cans are used. In addition to involving the Hôtel Maxim Folies staff, you can also contribute to this precautionary approach by making use of the sorting garbage can provided in your room.
For our suppliers
A human touch in close proximity
Shopping close to home is always a good thing. Knowing your suppliers and choosing them with a commitment to both the quality of the resources they use and their manufacturing methods is as essential as it is humane. Not only does close proximity reduce the carbon footprint associated with logistics but it also sustains the local socio-economic fabric. Hôtel Maxim Folies therefore chooses suppliers as near as possible to Paris or the Paris region: preserving biodiversity and ethical dynamics are values we share with our partners... and offer here, for your own lifestyle.
For Our People
Healthy working conditions
Because a great stay starts behind the scenes, Hôtel Maxim Folies is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and fulfilling work environment for its team. That means listening, offering training, and respecting everyone’s rhythm. Our responsible recruitment charter promotes diversity, fairness, and personal growth. Working well also means working better — and you’ll feel it in the welcome we extend to you.
For the Neighborhood
Local connections
We care about our neighborhood. Supporting it just makes sense. Hôtel Maxim Folies builds lasting ties with local players — artisans, producers, shopkeepers, associations. Together, we’re creating a more grounded, more authentic form of tourism. We favor seasonal products, support citizen initiatives, and invite you to experience a side of Paris that’s off the beaten path. Hospitality that reflects real city life — and contributes to it.
For Greater Clarity
Transparent commitments
No greenwashing here — just real actions. Hôtel Maxim Folies follows a clear sustainability approach, guided by a daily-applied ethical charter. Our decisions — from purchasing to partnerships — are reviewed regularly to ensure we’re always improving. This transparency holds us accountable, strengthens trust, and turns intention into action. Doing better means knowing why we do it.
Hotels en Ville
Shared values
Hôtel Maxim Folies is proud to be part of Hotels en Ville collection — a collective of urban hotels with strong values. In practice, this means we apply three key charters every day: an ethical charter to guide our actions, a responsible purchasing charter to choose partners who care, and a responsible recruitment charter to ensure fairness, transparency, and inclusion. A network that reflects who we are: independent, united, and actively engaged.
