GIVING BAG PARTNERS WITH THE VINETA HOTEL IN PALM BEACH
Giving Bag is proud to partner with The Vineta Hotel in Palm Beach, as we continue our partnership with Oetker Hotels. Since 2014 Giving Bag has been proud to partner with other hotels within the Oetker Hotels collection like Hotel du Cap Eden Roc, Hotel Le Bristol, Eden Rock St. Barths, L'Apogée Courchevel, Hotel La Palma Capri, and Chateau St. Martin. We could not be more excited to welcome The Vineta to the Giving Bag family.
​
Palm Beach is getting back one of its icons...but not as it was. The Vineta Hotel, once known as The Chesterfield, is being thoughtfully reimagined by Oetker Hotels as a boutique retreat that honors its century-old legacy while leaning fully into the island’s luminous charm. With fewer rooms, a restored name, and a new sense of space and style, The Vineta is less about nostalgia and more about what timeless Palm Beach looks like today.
WHAT SHOULD I DONATE?
Once at The Vineta, simply place gently used clothing, shoes, or books into Giving Bag. Other items we've seen donated are belts, hats, and neck ties. At the moment, we cannot accept money or food as donations.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Upon checkout, your items will be collected from the room's Giving Bag and organized for donation to a local charity. Items will be inspected before donation to make sure they are in usable condition to be donated.
