What are Rosen Green Meetings®?

Harris Rosen Green Lodging Quote:

We take environmental responsibilities to heart. We made it a point in the design phase of Rosen Shingle Creek to conserve water and energy and reduce waste as much as possible, and as a result, we save valuable resources,” said Harris Rosen, President/COO, Rosen Hotels & Resorts. Guests may never notice the small changes we’ve made to help save our planet, but we do them because it’s simply the right thing to do. Those guests who do take note applaud our efforts because they too, are socially responsible citizens who are concerned about the effects man has on his environment.

Rosen Shingle Creek, Rosen Centre, and Rosen Plaza have the Florida Green Lodge Certification
