Consumers Crave Sustainable Travel Options
The average American is increasingly aware of the environmental
impact of their actions and the general state of pollution,
especially as it relates to plastic:
- 85% of Americans think that plastic waste pollution is a
serious and concerning problem1
- 1 in 3 Americans say they’ve reduced how much plastic they’re
using2
- 83% of travelers confirm sustainable travel is important to
them3
Conscientious consumers are increasingly choosing products to
support sustainability journeys for themselves, their families, and
their homes - and want to continue those planet-friendly habits on
the road. But the nature of tourism operations, the scale needed
for high turnover rooms, and general consumer expectations and
behaviors around hospitality makes that more challenging. This is
especially true when considering there are few options for hotel
stays that have sustainability in mind - especially as it relates
to single-use plastic waste.
Meeting the Consumer Need: The Beyond Plastic™ Stay
The Beyond Plastic™ Stay, a more sustainable hotel experience,
is brought to life through a partnership pilot between sustainable
retailer Grove Collaborative and hotel management company Crescent
Hotels & Resorts. This partnership aims to educate guests about
the sustainable products available today to Go Beyond Plastic™
while supporting Crescent Hotels & Resorts’ efforts to make the
hospitality industry more sustainable - starting with the
properties they manage. Guests will be able to select the “Beyond
Plastic™ Stay” as an option when reserving a room at any of the
participating properties across all booking platforms, similar to
selecting a King Size or Double Queen room, starting at a $50
premium. The guest journey allows for multiple education
touchpoints to help guests learn about sustainable swaps to
incorporate into their home routines.
Individual rooms have been updated at a number of Crescent
Hotels & Resorts locations, with an assortment of sustainable
products to reduce the environmental impact of an individual’s
hotel stay. This includes:
- Back of House - cleaning products from Grove Co., For
Good, and Seventh Generation to make turning over the room and
preparing for guests more sustainable, prioritizing refill systems
for cleaning and opting out of single-use plastic items.
- In-Room - personal care and home products from Grove
Co., Alpine Provisions, and Plant Therapy to minimize the impact of
guest’s individual stays, prioritizing refill systems, bamboo
paper, and more sustainable packaging materials.
- Sundry - additional personal care items from Grove Co.,
Spinster Sisters, The Humble Co., and Kitsch for purchase should
guests forget any essentials during their travels.
By using refill systems and products that opt for more
sustainable packaging materials than single-use plastic, each guest
that opts into the Beyond Plastic™ Stay saves approximately 50
standard sized water bottles worth of single-use plastic4.
Properties participating in the pilot program include:
- Grand Bay Hotel San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
- The Ven at Embassy Row, Washington, D.C.
- Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort, outside of San Antonio,
TX
- The Inverness Denver, a Hilton Golf & Spa Resort, Denver,
CO
- Hotel Vance, Portland, OR
As the pilot advances, Crescent Hotels & Resorts will look
to onboard additional managed properties to the program. To explore
the products featured in the Beyond Plastic™ Stay, visit

4 Based on the standard weight of 16.9 oz. single-use plastic
water bottles (33 water bottles = one pound of plastic). To
calculate how much plastic a product can avoid, Grove finds the
difference between the amount of plastic in the leading packaging
format of a conventional, single-use plastic product of equal size
or number of uses and the amount of plastic in a reduced-plastic
product purchased from Grove.
