Earth Day - Destination Style

Destination Hotels & Resorts proudly supports Earth Day at all of our properties.  As the 40th Anniversary of this day is being celebrated by millions of people all over the world, our properties celebrate the day in unique and impactful ways.  From our urban historic hotels, to our beach-side resorts, we strive to do our part in being good stewards of the environment.  We plant trees, host Earth Day fairs and recycling drives, and offer local and organic menu items in our restaurants.  Many of our properties donate a percent of sales to community and environmental organizations and for several of them this will be an employee Bike to Work Day.

When you stay at Hamilton Park Hotel or The Inverness Hotel on Earth Day, you will be given seeds you can take home with you to plant.  At the Carolina Inn you will receive one of those fabulous, ever-so-handy reusable tote bags.  InterContinental Tampa and Royal Palms Resort are planting herb gardens on their grounds, and The Inn and Spa at Loretto and Vail Cascade will be cleaning up their local rivers.  Slow down and waive to the employees from Stowe Mountain Lodge and Sunriver Resort when you drive on the highway near those properties…today they will be out in full force cleaning up the roads!

To Right These Wrongs Publication & Film Event

History was re-visited last night in The Carolina Inn’s historic Old Well Room. The Inn was host to the publication event of To Right These Wrongs: The North Carolina Fund and the Battle to End Poverty and Inequality in 1960s America. The book, written by Duke Professor Robert Korstad and UNC-CH Professor James Leloudis, focuses on the North Carolina Fund’s efforts to end economic and racial inequality in the state.

The event highlighted an eight minute film of Governor  Terry Sanford calling for racial equality in a 1963 speech in The Carolina Inn’s Old Well Room. Click here to view and download the speech.

Guests were also treated to a discussion with the authors moderated by William Friday followed by a book signing with the authors. Historical 1960s photography by North Carolina photographer Billy Barnes was displayed in the Alumni Room.
