Banyan Resort, Key West, Fla.

From the solar-powered swimming pools to the biodegradable tiki bar, the Banyan Resort in Key West is an emerald green jewel. This restored historic 1800s estate is the first "Green Lodging Facility" in the Florida Keys. The deck is made out of recycled lumber and the grounds are xeriscaped—landscaped with water-conserving xeric plants—with native flora. Staff checks air conditioning levels four times a day.
