Rosen Plaza Hotel E-Brochure

Meetings and Events: Orlando Green Meeting

Rosen Plaza is among the first hotels in Central Florida to achieve Two Palm status in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Lodging Program (along with its two sister convention properties), and is among only 11 total Two Palm hotels in the state of Florida. Rosen Plaza was among the first 50 properties — the top one percent in Florida — to receive One Palm designation in 2007. The newly achieved Two Palm designation certifies that the hotel has increased energy conservation and pollution prevention measures since their One Palm certification just over a year ago.

The voluntary state initiative provides the lodging industry with free technical assistance, encouraging hotels and motels to adopt cost-saving “green” practices that reduce waste, conserve natural resources and improve the bottom line. Facilities can achieve up to three levels of green within the Florida Green Lodging Program ranging from One Palm to Three Palm based on increased reductions in waste, water and energy consumption.

To become a designated member of the Florida Green Lodging Program, hotels must implement a variety of green practices. These practices include, but are not limited to, water conservation measures by installing low flow plumbing fixtures and implementing a linen reuse program, and energy efficiency achieved by installing ENERGY STAR® appliances and programmable thermostats. The waste reduction criteria are met by providing the opportunity to recycle, purchasing items in bulk, purchasing recycled materials and by recycling ink and toner cartridges. All designated properties must also use green cleaners and high efficiency air filters, and clean air handler units frequently. Rosen Plaza went above and beyond the state’s Green Lodging requirements by introducing several other eco-friendly programs, which include providing recycling bags in individual guest rooms and recycling containers in public areas.
