It’s Only Natural: Eco-Friendly Hotel Suites by Fairmont
July 1, 2008 at 1:02PM by Thomas P. Farley | 

Fairmont Eco-SuiteIf your desire to go green when you stray far from home goes beyond the bare minimum (i.e., you’re willing to do more than simply re-use your towels), you’re just the sort of traveler Fairmont Hotels had in mind when it unveiled its Lexus Hybrid Living suites.

Ensuring that both coasts were covered, Fairmont debuted one Hybrid Living Suite in its San Francisco property and one in Washington, D.C., this spring. The accommodations embrace all things sustainable, like organic mattresses, environmentally friendly paints, recycled glass kitchen countertops and drapery made of recycled polyester. In the nation’s capital, guests can reserve the Eco Power Package (from $999 per night). In the City by the Bay, the hotel offers the Eco Is the New Chic package (from $869 per night).

One of the first things you’ll notice about these suites, which were created by eco-designer extraordinaire Kelly LaPlante, is how clean the interior air is. Free of synthetic materials, dust-collecting upholstery and noxious chemicals, the suites are certain to be favorites of visitors who suffer from allergies and asthma. No matter how delicious the interior air may be, however, you won’t be spending all of your time in your room. To that end, you’ll happily enjoy the sights of these cities from the seats of your Lexus LS 600H L — a hybrid vehicle, of course. Guests enjoy complimentary use of this luxury sedan during their stay.
