Have fun or make a stand? Comfortable beds or responsible ho(s)tels? Friendly atmosphere or social conscience? At The People, we’ve chosen not to choose. Because actions speak louder than words, every day our teams do the right thing and focus on the commitments that really count!
du cœur
Because at The People we like stories that set your heart racing, we are very proud to be joining forces with the Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque association to provide surgery and care to children around the world with heart conditions. So, we have created “Le Cookie du cœur “, the only programme of its kind, which involves donating all of the money from the sale of our cookies to the association.
If you want to take part in this fantastic cause, come along to our ho(s)tels in Paris, Lille, Strasbourg, Le Havre, Les 2 Alpes and Marseilles, 5,000 cookies sold will save 1 child!

CONSUME LESS, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING
Because every little gesture counts, we are doing our part to better control our water and electricity consumption. Do you know what a “Good Shower” is? These are the three 3-, 5- and 7-minute timers installed in our bathrooms to regulate water consumption. Perfect for managing your timing!
GO, GO, GO SOFT MOBILITY
Our ho(s)tels are located right in the centre of cities and are always within walking distance of a station, meaning that it couldn’t be easier to get there. Whether you come by bike, metro or on foot, come and enjoy our destinations.
ULTRA LOCAL IS AMAZING
For us, “here” is a true philosophy. We encourage short supply channels for our ho(s)tels as we love our local producers and their ultra high quality products. And since we love to share the characteristic vibe of each place, we’re also involved in local associations and the lives of our local districts to say Welcome to la vida locale!
WE ARE THE (PLANET) CHAMPIONS
In each of our ho(s)tels, a Planet Champion, the ambassador for our social and environmental approach, makes sure our commitments are put into practice. We Care, We Act! Because actions speak louder than words, together, let’s do the right thing.
THE PEOPLE x WE LOVE GREEN
The People and We Love Green is the perfect match. Two communities connected by strong common values, who speak the universal language of music. As the exclusive partner of this hospitality sector festival, we are putting our social and environmental commitments into practice to provide you with an exceptional experience, while limiting the impact on our planet. The People has green running through our veins and rhythm in our hearts.
