Featuring exclusive furnishings and natural materials, Paradiso Pure.Living hotel is a veritable paradise on earth. It is located in the heart of the Seiser Alm, Europe’s largest high-altitude Alpine meadow at over 2,000 metres above sea level. Nestled in the picturesque landscape of South Tyrol, it opened in 2019 as the first vegetarian hotel in the Dolomites. The hotel philosophy celebrates a connection to nature, conscious living and sustainability.
The 41 rooms of this elegant inn are bright and bathed in light, with high-quality furniture, natural materials and a careful attention to detail. The designers focused especially on the bathroom design, using understated colours to create pure, clean and harmonious spaces. The baths are equipped with exclusive shower toilets (WASHLETTM) from Japanese bathroom manufacturer TOTO, known for products that exemplify the ideal balance of aesthetics, functionality and hygiene. Sustainability also plays a major role in the company’s philosophy. For decades now, TOTO has been developing innovative technologies that conserve resources and respect the environment.
People feel reassured by intensified efforts to provide increased protection against infection, but these don’t necessarily help to improve their well-being. Paradiso Pure.Living has created bathrooms that are very hygienic while still conveying a feeling of luxury and wellness.
To highlight an innovative hygiene technology in TOTO shower toilets: The rimless toilet bowl and extremely efficient TORNADO FLUSH technology prevent aerosol particles from forming in the bathroom. These tiny droplets float through the air, spreading viruses and germs. Hygiene Professor Klaus-Dieter Zastrow recently confirmed these findings in a study he conducted on TOTO toilets: “Rimless toilets with Tornado Flush play a major role in preventing infections in bathrooms.”
TOTO, one of the world’s leading sanitary ware companies with 36,000 employees world-wide, has an unwavering focus on people and their well-being. Since its foundation in Kitakyushu, Japan in 1917, TOTO has been developing, producing and marketing its comprehensive high-end bathroom concepts – entering the European market in 2009. The company aims to create a new attitude towards life through regeneration, comfort and hygiene, integrating easy-to-use technologies into their product designs in a smart, nearly invisible way. Japan’s leading manufacturer in the sector, TOTO offers a comprehensive range of products including ceramic sanitary ware, faucets and accessories. The company can look back on over 40 years of success in developing and manufacturing WASHLET, having sold over 60 million of them world-wide so far.
TOTO is strongly committed to improving people’s well-being – as well as that of our planet. TOTO joined Initiative RE100 with the goal of becoming an emission-free company and is working towards achieving carbon neutrality at all its locations by 2050 – primarily through the consistent use of renewable energies. In 2021, TOTO received certification from the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) for adopting targets in line with Paris Climate Accord. By selling and developing products that save water, the company is helping conserve resources each and every day. Sustainable products will make up 83% of TOTO’s portfolio by 2030 – with innovative technologies dramatically cutting water consumption. With these steps, TOTO is pursuing complete climate neutrality by 2050 – see our Integrated Report 2024 for more details.
