Where hotel guests plant trees

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.

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.

At Pestana Amsterdam Riverside, our partnership with Hotels for Trees since November 2023 has been a resounding success. Over the past 1.5 years, we’ve received a lot of positive feedback from our guests who appreciate the initiative of waiving cleaning services in exchange for planting trees. An impressive 32% of our stayover guests have chosen to plant a tree at least once during their stay, contributing to a healthier planet. This initiative has not only positively influenced our cost structure but also enhanced our guests’ perception of our sustainability efforts. It’s truly a win-win!

Room Mate Aitana is truly proud to be part of Hotels for Trees. It’s such a simple yet meaningful way to make a positive impact—both for the planet and for our guests. For every day that housekeeping is not used, a tree is planted, and our guests really appreciate that. Many of them say they like being able to contribute to a greener world during their stay. It fits perfectly with our values as a hotel – being more conscious, more sustainable, and creating positive change together.

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!
