Experience Healthy Eco-Chic Living at Element Hotels

High-tech, eco-chic, comfortable and guilt-free; these are a few words to describe Starwood brand hotels' newest chain of resorts. Element hotels were created based on the concept of eco-friendliness without losing sight of guest satisfaction. So while food served is sustainable and water fixtures are low-flow, the pantry comes stocked with organic gourmet goodness and bathrooms are spacious and spa-inspired. The hotel's green ideal is part of its commitment to guest satisfaction, because green-minded guests are likely to lax on their "eco-etiquette" while vacationing.

"I don't think anyone is intentionally wasteful on the road, but it can be hard to stay on the straight and narrow when your routine is disrupted by travel. We know our guests want to be eco-conscious; it is our job to make it easy for them," said Element housekeeping manager Randal Savage.

 

Element hotels are open in five U.S. cities so far, and room rates are astonishingly average.

I keep seeing the term "eco-chic"; it looks like it's becoming a new trend for hotels. This is a good thing, though, we need the hospitality industry to strive to be green. I know that in my home state of Illinois we just got our first LEED certified hotel, Hotel Arista (http://www.hotelarista.com), that also refers to itself as eco-chic. It's located in Naperville and has been getting some great reviews.
