A curated hotel booking platform featuring the best boutique and sustainable accommodations across 170 global destinations. Launched in 2019, the site targets eco-conscious travellers seeking quality sustainable hotels without having to wade through endless search results.

Unlike traditional booking platforms that overwhelm users with hundreds of options, Sustainable Nights provides carefully researched recommendations—typically one best choice and one solid alternative per destination. Hotels are selected based on a combination of sustainability certifications, renewable energy use, waste reduction practices, and positive social impact, alongside boutique qualities like distinctive design and independent ownership.
The curation process relies on thorough research of hotel-provided information, guest reviews, and third-party certifications rather than personal site visits. European destinations feature additional insights drawn from my travel blogging experience, adding local context to accommodation recommendations.
Covering primarily Europe and North America, the platform originally planned broader global expansion. However, recent Google algorithm changes and the rise of generative AI have significantly impacted organic search traffic, making it increasingly difficult for specialist travel sites to compete. While the site remains active, it's no longer being updated with new properties or destinations.
Despite these challenges, the curated information remains valuable for travellers seeking genuine sustainable accommodation options. The platform demonstrated growing interest in green travel before algorithm changes shifted the digital landscape, with users consistently booking recommended properties when they could find the site.
