Hotel Rooms
Good reasons to think about the certification of your rooms
Allergens and irritants can cause health problems and thus impair our well-being. More than a third of the Swiss population is sensitised to allergens, and more than half of them show allergic reactions.
In addition to clear allergy triggers, there are numerous other substances indoors that irritate the respiratory tract or skin, cause or exacerbate symptoms and can thus promote the development of allergies, asthma or skin diseases. Good indoor air quality and a healthy indoor climate are therefore essential. Allergen- and pollutant-free indoor spaces lead to a measurable increase in well-being. By offering "allergy-friendly rooms", you can meet a significant need of your numerous guests.
The requirements for obtaining the Allergy Seal of Quality
For hotel rooms to be certified, they must, among other things, eliminate textile furniture and curtains. Mite-proof mattress covers, duvet covers and pillow covers must also be provided.

Frequently asked questions
There must be a quality management system in place with clearly defined and controlled responsibilities, as well as a training and further education concept on allergies and intolerances.
In order for hotel rooms to be certified, textile furniture and curtains as well as allergy-triggering plants must be avoided, among other things. The rooms have smooth floor coverings (e.g. parquet, linoleum, stone or short-pile synthetic fibre carpet). In addition, mite-proof covers for mattresses, duvets and pillows must be provided, as well as hypoallergenic soaps, shower gels and shampoos. Cleaning with hypoallergenic products and suitable vacuum cleaners must be ensured.
A hotel can be advertised as ‘allergy-friendly’ if at least one room meets the requirements.
