Villa Orange’s Mission Statement

"The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does"*

Villa Orange is a small hotel in the centre of Frankfurt run by its owner. The area of special things we do for our guests has many facets: As a business and organic hotel we incorporate sustainability in business. With our individual ambiance and familiar feeling we want to create a very personal and quiet opposite to the bustling financial and trade fair metropolis of Frankfurt. We want our guests to enjoy the Villa Orange as a place of friendliness and appreciation, where everyone feels welcome and at home, a place they are happy to return to. Christiane Hütte and her employees are personal contacts for all matters, contacts who are always ready and willing to listen.

The team is the engine and at the same time the spirit of the hotel. We appreciate the versatility of our tasks and handle daily challenges with a great deal of commitment, creativity and enjoyment. We treat all of the Villa Orange's guests and partners with respect, cordialness, fairness and aplomb. We are open to constructive criticism and are of course also pleased when guests and partners share their satisfaction with us.

The management style is friendly, personal and appreciative, communication is open and honest. We welcome committed employees who are enthusiastic and who act in a guest-oriented manner. Christiane Hütte attaches a great deal of importance to long-term ties with her employees and promotes a cooperative work atmosphere by means of regular team workshops Sustainability is a matter that is dear to us at our hotel, and not just in a few areas: Since July 2008 the Villa Orange has been certified with the organic seal and since January 2009 the hotel is a member of the Kooperation und Wertegemeinschaft der Bio-Hotels (Cooperation of Organic Hotels). We act out of conviction and strive for diligent treatment of resources. We are very proud to be able to offer our guests a breakfast buffet with 100% organic quality.

So that our guests feel comfortable here, all rooms have very high-quality furnishings: Among the new acquisitions at our hotel you will find organic cotton sheets and terrycloth towels. In the bathrooms our guests exclusively find cosmetic products with the organic seal, and the rooms are solely cleaned with organic cleaning products that are gentle to the environment.

We act in a loyal, reliable and open manner towards our partners and suppliers. In return, we also want to experience such an attitude from them. Cooperation that is both fruitful and long-term is important to us.

Sustainability, personal values such as honestly, reliability and consideration, and of course high-quality work, are the basis for our daily actions.

We don't just want to maintain the status quo, but instead to make progress. That's why we regularly check whether we are living up to our mission statement and are always open to acknowledgement or suggestions.
