In the past 12 to 24 months, hotel's have started the shift towards the "Green" movement. The problem is no one exactly knows what that means...Some properties have just added recycle bins and slow drip soap dispensers while others, like the Crystal City Marriott in Washington D.C., have started green laundry programs that are going to save them roughly 3.5 million gallons of water per year.
There are several national and international green hotel certification programs right now all doing different things so it's hard to differentiate, rank or compare. Travel & Leisure did an interview that discussed some flagship green hotels including the Orchard Garden Hotel in San Francisco, The Lenox Hotel in Boston and The Ibis Porte de Clichy in Paris. As they say in the interview, Green hotels aren't just grass huts in island getaways anymore but mainstream hotels in major cities.
