MUCH More than just a “Green hotel” In vienna & Austria
The First Vienna Hotel to Focus on the Common Good Economy
“We want the good life!” At the Hotel Henriette, it just feels right. With a foundation based in sustainability, everything has a personal touch and you can immediately tell: “We are Henriette!” When we work together, it’s easy to life well.
Your hosts, Georg and Verena Pastuszyn, turned some ways of thinking upside down many years ago. Everyday actions are to be questioned, improved and developed. Their family-run hotel in the city of Vienna has drawn positive attention to itself by choosing to follow the Economy for the Common Good at the beginning of 2019: Henriette City Hotel is the first Vienna hotel with a Common Good Balance Sheet!
What we’re proud of
Henriette Stadthotel is the 1. Common Good hotel in Vienna.
What we’ve done
Hotel Henriette – formerly known as Das Capri – received the City of Vienna’s 2019 Environmental Award.
What an honour for Georg & Verena!
Named one of Businessart magazine’s 2019 “Sustainability Leaders in Austria”.
What is Economy for the Common Good?
The economic and social success of a company is defined by values that serve the common good.
Human dignity, solidarity, ecological sustainability, social justice and democratic participation are the keywords here.
The goal is a good life for all living creatures and the planet, supported by an economic system focused on the common good.
It is an initiative to raise awareness; for a change based on the mutual, respectful actions of as many people as possible.
"No, we’re not trying to change the whole world. But our little piece of it? Definitely."
Georg Pastuszyn & Verena Brandtner-Pastuszyn
Economy for the common good
Live well. Feel good.
What is the Economy for the Common Good (ECG)? Well, start by opening your window! You have to take a look outside the Hotel Henriette to truly understand this future-looking economic model ...
What matters on our planet is more than just economic performance. It goes beyond just a “green hotel” in Vienna, Austria: it’s about an ethical economic model with total solidarity. And a good life — for our guests and for everyone we work with.
“In the first Economy for the Common Good evaluation, we achieved a balance sheet total of 398 points; 2019‒2021 we were able to reach 410 points, thus exceededing the legal requirements by 41%. We couldn’t be happier!” Georg Pastuszyn
SPIRIT & COMMUNITY: Georg and Verena Pastuszyn love turning the wheel of time forward. Everyone appreciates this innovation, and guests feel that creativity and community have high priority here.
HUMAN DIGNITY & RESPECT: Jacek and Annelie Pastuszyn, founders of the former Hotel Capri, are enjoying their well-earned retirement. But they’re always ready to lend a helping hand – that’s what keeps them young and full of life. And there is always something to do!
