Culture and Philosophy
Recognizing the importance of sustainable action and as leaders in the luxury hotel industry, we actively engage in various initiatives.
We are deeply focused on three fundamental pillars: heritage preservation, social responsibility and environmental protection. By learning from those around us and fostering authentic relationships, we aim to deliver on our commitments and further develop sustainable luxury while preserving the future of our planet over time.
Environmental Preservation
As Grand Hotel Alassio has witnessed changing trends and years, we have consistently reinvented the hotel industry and its norms. In the face of the climate emergency and its associated challenges, we are once again redefining luxury to incorporate an ecological conscience.
Our brand and business model have embraced reason without compromising the Grand Hotel Alassio experience, thanks to the ingenuity of our partners and employees.

A gentle environment
Here at Talassio Collection we are looking for collaborative and passionate people, professionals who embrace our mission to create fresh, professionally sustainable and rewarding hospitality. We are a dynamic, young, family-run yet strongly structured company with compelling goals and extremely ambitious development projects.
Our true value lies in the strength of our team. To pursue this goal, every year we extend our opening window to allow our people and the region to benefit from the world of the Grand Hotel.
-
Reducing Energy Consumption
All lighting in our common areas and guest rooms is 100% LED. We optimise our IT equipment and adopt environmentally responsible digital practices.
-
Minimizing Waste Impact
Our hotel has introduced a waste management system that focuses on sorting, recycling, and reducing waste. Additionally, we have provided our employees with training on how to properly implement the system.
To reduce plastic usage, we have eliminated plastic materials from our public areas and guest rooms. Instead, we offer biodegradable straws and bamboo toothpicks at our Piano Mare Lounge Bar, and provide guests with water bottles made from tetrapak material at our Grand Beach Club.
-
Promoting Sustainable Mobility
We provide our guests with city bikes, electric bikes from Unicorn Mobility and a CO2-neutral electric courtesy car, thus promoting sustainability and offering an eco-friendly experience during their stay.
For hotel guests with 100% electric or hybrid cars, the Grand Hotel provides them with a charging station at the hotel's private car park. The hotel is therefore a member of the eV-Now programme and has obtained the 'Electric Friendly Certification'.

Prioritizing Responsible Procurement
At our restaurant, we strongly believe that the key to creating delicious dishes lies in using top-quality ingredients. That's why we have made it our mission to source all our produce from local farmers and suppliers who share our passion for high-quality food. We also make it a priority to use seasonal ingredients whenever possible, as this allows us to serve the freshest and most flavorful dishes to our customers.
In addition, we are committed to using only organic and certified products in our kitchen. This ensures that our dishes are free from harmful chemicals and that we are doing our part to protect the environment.
Heritage and Culture
As custodians of the Italian art of living, we are passionate about preserving our cultural heritage for future generations. Our aim is to awaken and raise awareness of this exceptional heritage among our employees, customers, and throughout the whole Ligurian/Italian community.
-
Social Commitment
We are dedicated to creating an environment that upholds ethical criteria, diversity, employability, human rights, and health and safety. Empowerment lies at the core of our brand, and we recognize and value the talent and exceptional savoir-faire of those who work tirelessly to ensure the spirit of the Grand Hotel Alassio thrives. They are the driving force behind our commitments and countless initiatives that uphold our goals.

Caring for Our Teams’ Well-being
At Grand Hotel Alassio, we prioritize the happiness and comfort of our employees. We offer them lodging and have partnered with nearby establishments such as beaches, hair salons, and restaurants to provide them with special perks. As a way of recognizing the exceptional effort of one staff member each month, we award them with a voucher that can be redeemed across various platforms. Our company mission revolves around promoting the contentment and prosperity of our team members.
-
Encouraging Skill Development
Our commitment to our employees includes providing exceptional training and career management support. The 'Talassio Academy' is an ongoing initiative designed to enhance the skills and professional growth of our staff. We arrange meetings with industry experts to enrich their expertise in various fields. Our goal is to invest in our team's success and our company's growth by continuously improving their skills through training.

Fostering Positive Collaboration
We support local associations and organizations in our area and promote the presence of our employees in schools to help students better develop our skills.
