Approximately 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from tourism, and this figure is expected to double by 2050. If you don’t carefully consider your choice of hotel and transportation options, you may return home from your vacation with a massive carbon footprint.
Located in the heart of Cappadocia’s unique beauty, *A La Mode Cappadocia Hotel* takes global warming seriously.
A FAIRTRADE HOTEL
The hotel management eliminates many factors that contribute to global warming right from the purchasing stage by following three key principles: *local sourcing, environmental awareness, and fair trade.
When purchasing goods and services, the hotel prioritizes local suppliers as long as they offer quality and reasonable prices. Both goods and services are sourced from the local community, and the majority of the hotel staff consists of local residents.
If the hotel must use imported products that are not available locally, it prefers suppliers certified under *Fairtrade* standards.
This means the hotel does not purchase from suppliers that exploit child labor, force people—especially women—to work under harsh conditions, pay unfair wages, or use environmentally harmful agricultural chemicals.
NO SINGLE-USE PRODUCTS
The hotel prioritizes *eco-friendly products* with environmental certification and avoids the use of single-use plastic items.
To reduce emissions from shipping and packaging, bulk purchases are made whenever possible.
WATER CONSERVATION
The hotel ensures that the water usage of its guests does not harm aquatic life in seas, lakes, or other water bodies. Risk assessments have been conducted, and necessary precautions have been taken.
Guest water consumption is monitored, and strategies for more efficient water use are constantly being developed.
Rooms are not cleaned unless requested, preventing unnecessary washing of bed linens and reducing water and detergent usage.
PERFUMES, INSECT REPELLENTS, AND SUNSCREEN
The hotel’s website shares scientific research on perfumes, insect repellents, and sunscreens. Guests are advised to avoid products that are harmful to both humans and the environment.
NOT A CONCRETE BLOCK, BUT STONE AND WOOD
A La Mode Cappadocia is *not a multi-story concrete block.* Spread over more than 6,000 square meters, the hotel provides a comfortable living space with *31 accommodation units* designed to cater to different vacation preferences. The stone rooms and wooden houses, in harmony with the natural environment, blend traditional regional architecture with a modern and comfortable *glamping* concept.
Surrounded by trees, the hotel features *a large garden* with its own fairy chimney, offering guests a direct experience of Cappadocia’s breathtaking scenery and surreal atmosphere.
There are *spacious gardens* between the rooms, leaving ample living space for birds. Guests stepping outside can enjoy an *infinite sky view.*
From your room, you can reach the *beautiful and spacious pool* in just a few minutes. If you stay in a *poolside room,* you can step out of your door and dive into the pool within seconds. With apricot trees surrounding it, the pool never feels crowded. It gives the impression that you are at your *own summer retreat* with a private pool.
LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS
The hotel’s *restaurant offers a rich menu* featuring both local and international cuisine. Guests are welcome to step into the kitchen to see how clean and well-maintained it is. During your stay, it is highly recommended to *try all the delicious food and beverages.*
BALLOON SPECTACLE AT SUNRISE
If you wake up at *4:30 AM* and look outside, you will witness *hundreds of colorful hot air balloons* rising from the ground into the sky. About *30 minutes later, they will pass right above you.*
For a truly spectacular experience, you can head to the *hotel’s terrace* or the nearby hill to watch the balloons rise, glowing with fire as they ascend into the sky.
CENTRALLY LOCATED IN GÖREME
