Our commitment to sustainability is further reinforced by our Biosphere Certification, awarded by the Responsible Tourism Institute.

Veritree
Supporting Coastal Kelp Reforestation Efforts
In addition to our dedication to sustainable practices, we are excited to introduce our Veritree program—an initiative aimed at reforestation and conservation efforts. For every guest who stays with us, a kelp is planted in partnership with Coastal Kelp. And for every guest who opts out of housekeeping, an additional ten kelp are planted!
Through Veritree, we're actively restoring ecosystems and supporting biodiversity. This program allows our guests to directly contribute to kelp reforestation efforts, making a positive impact on the environment with every visit to The Parkside Hotel & Spa.
At The Parkside Hotel & Spa, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. This Earth Day, we invite you to join us in celebrating our journey towards a more sustainable future. By booking at The Parkside Hotel & Spa, you're not just indulging in luxury—you're also supporting responsible tourism practices and helping to preserve our planet for generations to come.
