Eco-friendly travel is a rising trend that’s expected to continue into 2022, with travelers seeking to reconnect with nature — while staying in environmentally respectful accommodations.
Many Hilton properties have taken steps to reduce energy and water usage, choose green building materials for their design, or offer sustainably sourced menu items. These three eco-conscious hotels are poised to take eco-friendly travel to the next level in 2022.
