Where hotel guests plant trees

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

We’ve been working with Hotels for Trees for about three years now, and it’s been such a great experience. Our guests and staff have responded very positively, and it’s great to see how much they appreciate the sustainability effort. More and more, our guests want to know their stay is making a difference, and it’s been amazing seeing the impact. We love seeing all the trees being planted, and we’re excited to keep it going!

Working with Hotels for Trees has transformed our guest experience, guests embrace the program as they genuinely want to make a difference during their stay. The program not only offsets our CO₂ emissions through tree planting, but also reduces emissions directly. Hotels for Trees is key in reaching our ambitious sustainability targets. The transparent reporting and measurable impact demonstrate our commitment to sustainability. Hotels for Trees doesn’t just plant trees, it plants the seeds for a more sustainable future in hospitality, and we’re proud to be growing that forest together.

Before I started working at the Radisson Hotel & Suites, I was not familiar with Hotels for Trees. I’ve noticed that many of our guests value it, and instead of choosing a drink or points, they are more likely to opt for planting a tree. A few of my colleagues and I also go out to plant the trees ourselves, and we share this with our guests. They really appreciate it, and so far, we’ve already planted 2.496 trees. Personally, I think it’s a fantastic initiative, and we will definitely continue with it!

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.

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.
