RockResorts Taps into Next Environmental Program with "Water on the Rocks"

I used to be with RockResorts, This is a great idea.

As part of “Water on the Rocks,” two pre-filled glass bottles are placed in each guest room daily and refreshed as needed during daily housekeeping or by request. These bottles are sanitized and replaced each night with filtered water as needed. Guests on the go will also have the option to purchase stylish, reusable RockResorts logoed water bottles (BPA-free plastic or stainless steel) for $4 at hotel front desks or spas that can be refilled at water refilling locations around each property. In many resort locations, guests will be treated to filtered flavored water (such as cucumber or lemon).


The program was designed by the RockResorts “Tap Force” to eliminate 99 percent of plastic water bottles in both guest rooms and food and beverage operations. “Water on the Rocks” is part of RockResorts Echo, which is the company’s corporate stewardship program and also includes employee volunteerism, charitable giving and other environmental initiatives, such as:

• A companywide sustainable cuisine program called Appetite for Life

• A green guest rooms program

• A voluntary guest donation program that benefits local conservation efforts

• The introduction of green weddings and meetings.

• Plus, other initiatives like energy conservation and one of the country’s largest forest health restoration project with the Forest Service and volunteer groups.
