Where hotel guests plant trees

At Hotel de Sterrenberg we believe that true luxury doesn’t lie only in wellness and comfort, but also in acting consciously towards the world around us. That’s why we are a proud partner of Hotels for Trees. Every guest who chooses to skip a housekeeping service helps contribute to something bigger: a new tree. In this way, together we make a tangible difference for nature, directly from your hotel bed. A small gesture, a big effect – exactly how we like to see it.

Partnering with Hotels for Trees has been a transformative experience for us. Our guests are thrilled to contribute to reforestation efforts simply by choosing eco-friendly options during their stay. We’ve received numerous positive comments from guests who appreciate our commitment to sustainability. Participating in Hotels for Trees not only strengthens our green credentials but also fosters a deeper connection with environmentally conscious travelers.

Joining Hotels for Trees is easy: just hang the tag visibly if you’d like to skip room cleaning. You save time and make a bigger impact: for each skipped service, we plant a tree. This simple gesture leaves an impression and contributes to a greener future. To make a better world, it starts with yourself. That’s why we mention it both at check-in and in the room, to engage our guests. Thanks to Hotels for Trees, we’ve planted over 8,000 trees in three years. More hotels are joining, expanding the reach. We’re proud of our choice and inspire others to follow.

Room Mate Mario is proud to participate in this initiative, which allows us to contribute to environmental sustainability in a tangible and meaningful way. We started recently (3 months ago) and with the sum of each day we have planted 252 trees. This small action not only helps to reduce water and energy consumption, but also supports reforestation efforts and raises awareness among our guests. The feedback has been positive as our guests appreciate being part of a project that goes beyond comfort and really makes a difference.

Since joining the Hotels for Trees initiative late 2022, we’ve seen an annual increase in guest participation. The ease at which our guests can participate and choose to contribute to a greener world is met with great enthusiasm. Resulting now in an average of ~1000 trees planted per month and since joining close to 18.000 trees. Being a Green Globe Platinum Member (certified for ten consecutive years), this initiative is not only a presentation of our own sustainability achievements but also resonates very well with today’s eco-conscious traveller.
