Where hotel guests plant trees

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.

Royal Lancaster London has been a proud partner of Hotels for Trees since 2022, becoming the first hotel in the UK to join the initiative. Since then, our guests have helped plant thousands of trees through a simple choice that integrates effortlessly into their stay. Together, we are demonstrating that mindful decisions, no matter how small, can have a meaningful and lasting impact on our environment. Sally Beck MI FIH General Manager Royal Lancaster London

Our partnership with Hotels for Trees has had a significant impact. For every night a room does not need to be cleaned, a tree is planted. This helps us reduce our ecological footprint and allows us to contribute to a greener future. Our hotel guests have responded enthusiastically. As a result, we have already planted more than 3.500 trees (March 2025). We are proud of this partnership and look forward to creating even more positive change together.

Sustainability is one of our core pillars; we strive to be a place of inspiration, where luxury and sustainability go hand in hand. That’s why we’re proud partners of Hotels for Trees. Since joining, 25% of our guests choose to participate. The collaboration adds an extra layer to the guest experience. Planting a tree is symbolic: representing growth, long‑term thinking, and a meaningful choice. It’s proof that sustainability doesn’t sacrifice comfort. Every tree planted contributes to a healthier planet, and together we make hospitality a force for good.

Partnering with Hotels for Trees aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals at Hotel Oderberger Berlin. Together, we’ve already planted 765 trees, reducing our environmental footprint while engaging guests in a positive initiative. It’s a win-win for hospitality and the planet.

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.
