Sustainability at Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

Sustainability & Community Engagement

At Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting the community we call home. Through responsible operations, resource conservation initiatives, and partnerships that benefit local organizations and causes, we strive to create a positive impact for both our island community and future generations. Enjoy our oceanfront location overlooking the world-famous Waikiki Beach while knowing your stay is responsibly managed.

Our Focus on Sustainability

From reducing waste, water, and energy use to responsibly sourcing our food & beverage ingredients, our sustainable practices incorporate:

Water Filling Station
Reusable Sheraton Waikiki Water Tumblers

Two aluminum water tumblers are included in your stay. By taking advantage of the water filling stations on every guest floor, you can avoid single-use plastics, which have a harmful effect on the environment.

Reef Safe Sunscreen Dispensers
Reef-Safe Sunscreen To Protect Oceans

Hawaii was the first state to prevent bleaching of coral and other damage to the islands' ocean habitat by prohibiting sunscreen that contains harmful chemicals. Here at Sheraton Waikiki, we partner with Project Reef—a local mineral sun care brand— to provide reef-safe sunscreen that is available for purchase at the Waikiki Beach Services retail location in the Royal Hawaiian lobby.

Smart Thermostat Sustainability
Saving Resources

In the guest rooms, SMART thermostats are connected to door locks to maximize efficiency. Corridor air conditioning is scheduled only to turn on during hot weather.

Soap Dispenser
Re-imagining Amenities

Residential style amenities have replaced single-use plastic bottles in guestroom showers.

Car Charging Station
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Sheraton Waikiki was the first hotel in Hawaii to install vehicle charging stations in its parking complex, in 2011. Today, its parking garage offers electric vehicle charging stations on multiple floors for a nominal fee.

Helumoa Hot Tub
Award Winning, Energy Efficient Pool Complex

Sheraton Waikiki's expansive pool deck is located oceanfront and has been recognized as one of the Best Pools in America. Did you know it also is energy efficient? Excess heat from condenser water is utilized to more efficiently warm our pools.

Our Focus on Community Engagement

From supporting local communities to protecting Hawaii's natural environment, our community engagement efforts include:

Taro Field
Commitment on Farm to Table

Supporting local is important to us: when our community prospers, everyone reaps the benefits. Sheraton Waikiki has committed to reaching over 70% local produce, fresh fish, fresh eggs, and fresh poultry by dollar amount.

Bishop-Museum-Landmark
Partnership With Bishop Museum

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort is proud to partner with Bishop Museum to launch the Native Garden Volunteering Program and the new Kamala‘ulahiwa: ʻOhana Learning Space. Located near the Museum’s Nā Ulu Kaiwiʻula Native Hawaiian Garden, the space will offer educational programs on traditional land stewardship, local food security, and sustainability, while volunteers support native plant preservation.

Get Involved

During your stay with us, please join our journey: help care for Waikiki's coastline by using reef-safe sunscreen, conserving water and energy, participating in our towel and linen reuse program, and supporting local community initiatives.

Volunteer To Make a Difference

The relationship between people and place grows stronger every time you malama (give back). When you give back - to the land, the ocean, the fishpond, the community - you’re part of a circle that enriches everything and everyone, including your experience as a visitor.
