Conscious travel
A better way to travel
Everything we do at CityHub stems from our love of travel. But we know that the freedom and joy we feel when we’re exploring comes at a price for our planet and our future.
So from the very beginning, our founders Sem and Pieter have made it their mission to re-imagine the traditional hotel experience into something more sustainable. We work hard to create a positive impact on the beloved cities that host us. And in doing so, set an example for a more conscious travel philosophy based on smart solutions and a sharing culture.

OUR HUBS
Redefining the hotel room
Our compact and energy efficient Hubs, made from recyclable materials, breathe new life into unused space by repurposing vacant buildings – cutting down both the emissions and community disruption associated with the construction of a new building.

A sharing lifestyle
Sharing is nothing new. But a communal living approach is one of the best ways to reduce tourism’s carbon footprint. The Hangout (our reception, bar and lounge area in-one) and our shared bathrooms allow for a diminished usage of resources per traveller, making each stay less impactful. For the carbon footprint per room per night, our hotels belong to the lowest category in 2023.

Sharing with those in need
Together with local charities, Homies Foundation and Room for change, we make use of the availability of Hubs off-season by providing temporary accommodation to people experiencing homelessness.
-> 303 nights of accommodation for economically homeless people in 2023.

A holistic approach
Sustainability might be hip right now. But real solutions take a 360 degree approach. From researching and assessing new projects in new cities to our everyday operations like laundry, housekeeping, water-saving and waste management, we strive to do better every step of the way.
