5 Star Green: An Eco Friendly Hotel in Manhattan

Want to globe-trot without the guilt of an over-sized carbon footprint? Well relax and trot away, because many hotels have started making it easy to stay green while you're out on the road for business or pleasure. Manhattan's 70 Park Avenue boutique hotel is one place that believes hospitality is more than pillow mints and room service. As part of the Kimpton Hotel Group's EarthCare program they make an extra effort to keep wasteful practices to a minimum by using eco cleaning products, recycled papers, ‘low flow' water savers, donation programs, and an eco concierge who provides green information and services. Not to mention they'll set you up with a zero emission, man-powered pedicab so you can move around the city in style. Being green was never so luxurious.
