Default Lexus Expands Its Green Reach With "Eco Chic" Hotel Rooms, includes use of LS600hL!


You'll be thinking green in both senses of the word with the eco-conscious $869-per-night package from Lexus and The Fairmont hotels.


The package deal includes use of a Lexus LS 600h L

SAN FRANCISCO, California — Lexus is touting its new marketing setup with Fairmont Hotels and Resorts as something that will appeal to travelers with a "commitment to sustainability." Those who want to spend $869 per night, plus tax, can enjoy such amenities as a complimentary Lexus LS 600h L as well as minibars "stocked with local biodynamic wines and organic farmstead cheeses."

The two Lexus Hybrid Living Suites are said to be aimed at "eco-conscious visitors." They are located at the Fairmont San Francisco and the Fairmont Washington, D.C.

Japanese automakers are hot to partner with hotel chains to underscore their corporate philosophy. Acura and the hip W Hotel chain recently announced a marketing partnership.

As you might expect, the Lexus Hybrid Living Suites are very eco-conscious. Lexus says they feature compact fluorescent lights and organic mattresses, towels and robes, as well as environmentally friendly paint.

To book a suite, call (415) 772-5147.

What this means to you: Prepare to spend a lot of greenbacks to be a green hotel guest under this new arrangement with Lexus and Fairmont. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent

Just checked out the Fairmont San Francisco website.

I love that hotel, but they don't have the Eco-Friendly Package up yet...


EDIT: Here is the hote webpage with info: Eco is the New Chic Package.

It's interesting how they recycled old Lexus leather seats for the hotel suites...

I really like this idea.

A boutique hotel down the street from me has an RX that will pick you up at the airport. Though it is nothing fancy like this.

Good job Lexus and Fairmont.
