In Greater Miami & Miami Beach – and around the world – hotels are taking the initiative to become more sustainable by lowering their carbon footprint through conservation initiatives. One of the best ways travelers can make a positive impact during their stay in the destination is by checking into an environmentally conscious hotel that’s LEED certified and/or designated by Florida Green Lodging.

Created by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Green Lodging rates properties in five areas of sustainable practices with a four-tiered Palm designation (four being the highest). Factors include communication and education; waste reduction, reuse and recycling; water conservation; energy efficiency; and indoor air quality. Similarly, LEED is the international benchmark in energy-efficient building, design and construction set by the U.S. Green Building Council.

With so many green hotels to choose from at every price point, it’s easy to make the decision to go green when you visit Miami. Here are some of our favorite eco-conscious hotels in Miami.
