Going green is a popular topic these days – everyone from celebrities
to Fortune 500 companies are trying to be more eco-friendly. Many hotels are
starting to realize that they can go green, make a profit, and improve their
guests’ stays at the same time. Eco-friendly doesn’t have to mean roughing it
in a tent in the woods. It’s possible to operate a luxury hotel and care about
the environment simultaneously. Let’s take a look at a few hotels that are
doing just that…
The Crosby Hotel in New York’s trendy Soho neighborhood, is both
eco-friendly and luxurious. It focuses on sustainability - with a rooftop
garden the chefs use fresh produce and the garden also reduces heating and cooling
costs. They also used local materials when constructing the hotel and use
eco-friendly cleaning products.
The Element Las Vegas in Summerlin, Nevada focuses on eco-friendly
policies throughout the hotel. They have in room recycling bins, special
parking spots with charging stations for hybrid cars, and energy efficient
light bulbs.
The Rockhouse Hotel in Jamaica provides gourmet dining, morning yoga, Cliffside
lounges, and a spa while still being eco-friendly. They have solar water
heaters and water saving faucets. This hotel takes eco-friendly one step
further as the buildings emerge from volcanic rock cliffs.
Aranas Del Mar in Costa Rica seamlessly combines luxury with going
green. It features some of the nicest rooms in the city. This hotel shows it
cares about the native ecosystem as they had researchers study surrounding
wildlife before building the hotel so they would not disrupt their habitats.
They also use solar panels, a non-chlorine cleaning system in their pools, and
have an innovative underground electricity system all proving their commitment
to going green.
All of these hotels prove that going green can be part of a successful
business model. For more information please
