As a Crestline Hotel, we are dedicated to facilitating global change. We are empowering every Crestline associate to drive us towards our goal of being a premier leader in environmentally responsible lodging. Significant changes must be made to ensure that we are doing everything in our power to aid in the global effort for environmental change.
Crestline, as a leader in the hospitality industry, has an obligation to spearhead these changes. Our objective for Crestline is to create a sustainable hospitality culture that addresses the ecological concerns of today, while maintaining our strong and successful presence in the hotel industry. Please join us as we continue working towards reducing our carbon footprint and advancing Crestline to the forefront of the “green” hospitality movement. Our commitment includes:
- Starting with the very heart of each hotel: the associates. They are the voices that lead the movement towards being green. The day to day activities of the associates will make the greatest impact, and it is up to these team members to make the right decisions.
- Reducing our carbon footprint. We promote sustainability through recycling, post consumer material use, green cleaning products, and linen reuse options to reduce our impact on the environment.
- Guest involvement! Without giving our guests the knowledge and resources to help us, we can not fulfill our mission. We know when to ask for help and we’re asking you now.
This is a call to action; an invitation to help Crestline Hotels and Resorts become more socially responsible and continue to prove ourselves leaders in the industry. This movement requires stakeholder involvement; guests, owners, and associates, to help us on our mission to go green. Join EarthPact by Crestline in our quest to become synonymous with green hospitality and help us champion our cause: to make your experience with us unforgettably green.
...where hospitality and sustainability meet

L’Enfant Plaza Hotel is committed to protecting the environment by lessening its impact on the earth’s precious natural resources: air, water, trees and land. All employees strive to uphold the highest standards of guest service by limiting the impact of that service on the earth’s renewable resources (trees, soil, etc.) and non-renewable resources (oil, natural gas).
- Conserve Everywhere
- Re-Use Resources Where Possible
- Educate Guests & Staff As To The Benefits of “Being Green”
- Help Environmental Groups Solve Problems…. “Be A Solution…Not A Problem”
L’Enfant Plaza Hotel has made an “EarthPact” to be a good corporate citizen to lessen waste, conserve energy, reduce the use of all resources and lower the hotel’s total greenhouse gas emissions (CO2); i.e., the hotel’s “carbon footprint”.
