Green Lodging

Travelers Palm is designed as a Green Hotel

Travelers Palm is proud to be nominated for Key West's Green Living & Energy Education 2010 annual award.

Green materials and techniques were used throughout the construction of the all-new Travelers Palm. The pool is solar-heated, and solar-heated water, with electric back-up, supplies the rooms and laundry. Our tropical garden is irrigated with cistern collected rainwater. We feature energy-conserving lighting and environmentally friendly cleaning products. We invite our guests to participate in our recycling program and water-saving laundry reduction.

More Green Features include:

1.6 gallon flush toilets
Low flow faucets and shower heads
Landscape watering through our new cistern which catches rainfall
An extensive system of swales for water retention
Countertops are made of recycled granite and glass
High efficiency air conditioning systems
High efficiency televisions (low energy use)
Low VOC (volatile organic compound) interior paints
Use of compact fluorescent light bulbs
Ceiling fans throughout the houses
The houses are built to the Florida windstorm code
