Certified Corporation · SLEEP'N Atocha

We are a human and committed team that works to promote a new, more sustainable and more conscious tourism. We can proudly say that we are B Corp in Spain’s first accommodation and the second in Europe, which certifies our compliance with the highest standards in terms of social and environmental performance, transparency and corporate responsibility.

We aim to contribute to improving our environment by putting the people and the planet at the centre. But we cannot do it alone. We need to work hand in hand with our suppliers, partners and customers. For this reason, we believe it is important to remember each guest crossing the SLEEP’N Atocha threshold is changing the world with us.

At SLEEP'N we believe that hospitality can be a positive force for people and the planet. Our purpose is to demonstrate that a profitable hotel can operate in a fair, sustainable and transparent way.

We manage every decision with our employees, guests, suppliers, community and environment in mind. That's why we are a B Corp company: not because it's a label, but because it's the way we understand business.
