A Truly Green
Miami Hotel
Green hotel operations and supporting environmental sustainability is one of the main pillars of Palms Hotel & Spa’s mission and values.
Since 2010, our “Inspired by Nature Program” shows our commitment to this cause. It sets the standards and provides the guidelines to make our operation as eco-friendly as possible, to minimize our impact on the environment, and to create awareness of local environmental issues at stake.
Green Globe Certified
As a Green Globe certified property The Palms Hotel & Spa has received the endorsement of one of the global leaders in Sustainable Tourism Certification for all areas of sustainability including the implementation of a sustainability management system, complying to social & economic criteria, protecting cultural heritage and safeguarding the environment.
100% Disposable Plastic Free
It is our goal to operate with no disposable plastics. So far, we have implemented aluminum water bottles in guest & meeting rooms as well as re-usable acrylic glasses and metal cutlery at the pool and bioplastics and wood cutlery at the beach, eco-friendly take-away containers at the restaurant, and biodegradable straws throughout the property. We have also implemented refillable, BeeKind in-room guest toiletries as well as offering cloth in-room dry-cleaning bags.
Conserving
Natural Resources
It’s part of our nature, to tread lightly. Our bathrooms have low-flow showers and sinks, and eco-friendly toilets save water. While our clever Mode Green guest room light and A/C regulating system, the quick-dry bathrobes as well as UV guest-room windows and LED lighting throughout the hotel allow for more environmentally friendly use of electricity.
Raising Awareness For Our
Environment
We aim to educate and inspire our guests, associates and the community at large in regards to the environment. We have our very own Green Team to exercise the best practices in sustainability and ensure consistent training and communication within the hotel, while our quarterly beach cleanups involve our guests and the community at large.
Making Your Stay A Green One
We believe in the butterfly effect, the idea that the flutter of a butterfly wing can create a typhoon on the other side of the world. And thus, it’s up to each and every one of us to make small changes which in the long-run can have a huge impact on the environment as a whole. Wonder how you can make a difference?
Water Quality Testing
The hotel collects water samples from the ocean right behind the hotel every Thursday as part of Surfrider Miami’s Blue Water Task Force Program. Our sample and that of the other 20 locations in the program are currently analyzed and published every Friday evening via the Foundation’s website and their Instagram page.
