Sustainability

We want to do our part towards creating lively, active Hanko. We educate ourselves continually and try to be better towards the environment and people. Welcome to see what sustainability means to us!

Cultural heritage

Regatta Spa Hotel has its roots in the historical spa time over hundred years ago. The hotel building designed by Lars Sonck in 1898 is valuable part of the cultural heritage and the modern spa building from 2017 brought Hanko back to spa town.

Hotel building has been renoved to its original glory in 2012. It’s facade and staircases are protected by The Finnish Heritage Agency, so the coming generations can also enjoy this beautiful building. You can find a book about the hotel buildings history and the renovation project from the hotel reception.

Equality

We’re uncompromisingly against racism, discrimination and harassment of any kind, committed to a community where all are equally valued and respected regardless of their background. In Finland everyone is treated equally, which is one reason for Finland awarded as happiest nation for six years a row.

We take pride in our diverse team of international workers who come from various ethnic backgrounds. We celebrate and embrace cultural diversity. We are committed to create and maintain a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.

Every employee has the right to work in an encouraging and professional environment where their knowledge, skills and abilities are the factors in their daily life.

Certification

Hotel has received Good Travel Seal -certification in March 2023 demonstrating our strong commitment towards sustainable tourism. 

In January 2024 we continued our sustainability efforts by participating to Sustanable Travel Finland -programme. We achieved the STF-mark in May 2024.

Even though the certification is officially only for the hotel and restaurant, also spa is actively participating to the sustainability actions. 

  

We wish that as our valued customer you could help us for example by:

  • leaving towels to the floor when you need them changed
  • asking for cleaning only when necessary
  • reducing your water and electricity use
  • respecting our staff and other guests
  • giving us feedback – we want to hear from you!
 

For everyone’s safety, rooms and balconies are non-smoking and no live candles are used. However, if these rules have been broken, we will send a separate sanction invoice of mimimum 150€.

If a security service has to be called to the hotel premises due to a customer’s behaviour (e.g. night-time noise), the customer will be responsible for a security service charge.

Our motivated and professional staff is ready to serve you with open arms, each with their own personal style. We wish that our unique, family-owned hotel and the modern spa will delight all the visitors of Hanko for many generations. Warmly welcome!
