We love travel and experiencing all the destination has to offer, but we also understand the importance of preserving our home and the environment. As one of the central coast's first green hotels, the Portola Hotel & Spa strives to practice and promote sustainable and eco-friendly initiatives including sustainable travel.

Reduce Single Waste Plastic
Whether at home or on vacation, there are several ways our daily choices can make an impact on our environment. Small changes to reduce single waste plastic consumption add up to a big difference in our landfills. Consider traveling with a reusable water bottle. Most airports, restaurants, and hotels offer a water refill station or would be glad to refill your water bottle.
Travel with reusable bags and opt-out for plastic and paper bags. If you forgot your reusable water bottle or need a reusable bag, Portola's Peet's Coffee location sells a variety of amenities to assist with your travel needs.
