It’s all PURE at the Doubletree

September 30th, 2009

It’s September, and for many of us our allergies start working in full force.   Being new to Florida, I am still not sure what is blooming this time of  year, I just know it makes me sniffle.   The great thing about our hotel, we have created an environment for people just like me.  We offer PURE allergy friendly guest rooms and meeting space at the Doubletree.

PURE Allergy-Friendly Rooms And Meeting Rooms:

Our allergy-friendly hotel accommodations and meeting rooms are treated with the latest technologies available. In-room filtration systems purify air particles, while surfaces are treated to minimize the growth of bacteria. Available for a surcharge, our allergy-friendly Palm Beach Florida hotel accommodations and function venues are nearly 99.9% allergen-free and include:

·                 Sanitized heater and air conditioner, further cleaned with PURE Tea Tree Oil

·                 Cleansed and sanitized soft surfaces, to eliminate contaminants that trigger allergies

·                 One-time high ozone shock treatment, to remove any remaining allergy triggers, and to eliminate       room odors

·                 In room air purification system

·                 Hypo-allergenic pillow cases and mattress covers, to eliminate dust and dander associated with bedding

Fact: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has indicated that indoor air pollutants may be up to 100 times higher than outdoor air.

Result: The PURE program significantly reduces the impact of potential irritants for the guest.

 

Come and experience it for yourself!

Have you heard…..

August 24th, 2009

We all know the buzz word today is being GREEN.   In today’s world, we see many companies making the effort to rolling out their green initiatives.  

Did you know that Whole Foods is one of the top 10 Greenest companies in the United States?  Back in 2006 they began their green initiatives by purchasing renewable energy credits from wind farms. They have used these wind farm energy credits to offset 100% of their electricity bill across their entire footprint.   Now that’s pretty interesting.

So how can we as a hotel also reduce our carbon footprint?  With the addition of our new LEED certified Executive Meeting Center, that is how….Let me explain….

In the United States and in a number of other countries around the world, LEED certification is the recognized standard for measuring building sustainability. Achieving LEED certification is the best way for you to demonstrate that your building project is truly “green.”   The LEED green building rating system is designed to promote design and construction practices that increase profitability while reducing the negative environmental impacts of buildings and improving occupant health and well-being.

Some of the elements in our building that helped us achieve this certification are:

The chairs in our seating area are made out of recycled bicycle tires and wheels.  You will see Retro-modern lighting fixtures using glass lenses recycled from discarded traffic lights, and reclaimed heart of cyprus wood from the bottom of the local rivers here in Palm Beach County.  The building is considered a smart building, and reduces the amount of energy that a typical building uses by 40%, simply by turning everything off at night.

I invite you all to come take a tour of the new facility.  Holding a meeting in the Executive Meeting Center will go hand in hand with your green initiatives as a company, and will help reduce your carbon footprint.

Introducing our $9 Nosh menu in the Fusion Lounge at the Doubletree Palm Beach Gardens

July 31st, 2009

Looking to save money this summer, but still experience fine food and beverage?   Come check us out!  We have created a new summer bar menu, called “The $9 Nosh”.   This menu is designed with a variety of foods, from salads, appetizers, and sandwiches, all under $9.   We realize everyone is looking to stretch their dollar further, and with the choices we are offering, we can help you do that while still having a great meal.  AND, if you come between 5pm and 7pm, we also offer happy hour drink specials.  Here is a sample of our selections:

Doubletree Executive Meeting Center

March 26th, 2009

The experience of walking into our new Executive Meeting Center is a transition from the regular routine to an event and an adventure. When you enter our center, our floors naturally reflect our artist’s thoughts and interpretations. There is softness and comfort in how the light dances on the surface. The smooth feel of the terrazzo under foot is solid and massive reflecting the warmth of the sun. The combination of natural colors and textures slows the visitor to enter the lobby and stop to pause, collect and, then, adventure with the senses.
The main hall lined with meeting rooms is organized by materials where the craft and texture of materials abounds and the play between light and shadow, sleek and rounded, mass and detail, resonate the excitement and the calm. The reclaimed 100% select heart cypress wood on the walls and niches are at least 500 years old when it was cut down in the nineteenth century. Salvaged from the local Florida swamps, it has aged with unique colorations of honey cinnamon and textures.
The recycled glass has its own luster and colors. When materials are recycled, locally harvested and reclaimed, the materials have a history that shapes the spaces. The niches, with comfortable seating, allows a visitor to enjoy the composition and daydream of ideas that they have for their own compositions whether it is a new product idea, a business plan or a new logo. Among the most important features is the healthy air quality where materials do not cause a physical reaction or discomfort to the visitors. All the materials meet the air quality standards “Pure Certified” that create a healthy environment which has proven to be a more productive environment for learning and growing. The Executive Meeting Center becomes a passport for creativity because the senses are awakened naturally.
According to Leland C. Pillsbury, “We recognize that the commercial environment will continue to have a dramatic impact on our natural environment, economy, health, and productivity. The Executive Meeting Center at the DoubleTree Hotel at Palm Beach Gardens will strive to the help the environment through the accomplishment of LEED™ Certification™ .“ Lastly our IACC approved Executive Meeting Center requires the highest standard in the industry.
