A True Green Miami Hotel
Since 2010 our “Inspired by Nature” Program is our Environmental Action Plan which has guided us in our endeavor to help preserve the environment and care for the world we live in. We continually strive to improve our operations and increase our community involvement to become more sustainable and continue setting an example in our industry.
These are some of our accomplishments so far, for a full list of initiatives, please click here.

100% Disposable Plastic Free
It is our goal to operate with absolutely no use of disposable plastics by the end of 2021 (COVID-19 health & safety guidelines permitting). So far, we have added in-room aluminum and cardboard water bottles, along with aluminum water bottles in meeting rooms. We have implemented eco-friendly take-away containers made of bagasse, biodegradable drinking straws made from agave fiber, and use corn-starch cutlery at the pool & beach. We will be adding refillable, eco-friendly BeeKind in-room shower amenities to each guest bathroom, as well as offering cloth in-room dry-cleaning bags. We will be contracting with a dry-cleaning service that prioritizes sustainability practices and eliminate plastic garment bags. Future initiatives also include eliminating plastic key cards. Currently our plastic key cards are sanitized and recycled.

Conserving Natural Resources
- At The Palms Hotel and Spa, we are committed to the conservation of natural resources wherever possible. Our bathrooms are installed with low flow showers and sinks, in addition to eco-friendly toilets. Our quick-dry bathrobes, linen/towel re-use program, and guest in-room program allow for more conservation of materials, while LED lighting and UV windows throughout the hotel allow for more environmentally friendly use of electricity.

Raising Environmental Awareness in our Associates, Guests, and Community
We aim to educate and inspire all people in our community in regards to the environment. For this reason, The Palms Hotel and Spa has its own line-level green team on staff to exercise the best practices in sustainability. Training in recycling and green initiatives is implemented by our team, and local beach clean-ups led by our volunteers take place every quarter.

Sourcing Food Sustainably and Locally
- At The Restaurant at The Palms, we follow a true farm-to-table philosophy. Most fruits and vegetables are locally grown and harvested from our local organic gardens, while meats and poultry are naturally farmed and certified organic whenever possible. Wines are 100% sustainably farmed, and seafood is harvested sustainably with an emphasis on local sourcing.

Fill A Bucket
Feel free to give back to the world we live in any time you’re at The Palms with a mini beach-cleanup of your own! Join us for our 'Fill A Bucket' program and help us care for the world we live in. Pick up a bucket from our beach hut, collect trash and debris along our glittering shore, dispose the trash, return the bucket and feel good about what you’ve done for Mother Earth. Together, we can make this one Earth we have a cleaner and greener place!
