New York: a green hotel, without plastic or phones in the rooms

New York: a green hotel, without plastic or phones in the rooms
The new eco-luxury hotel opening soon in the middle of Central Park in New York will offer a range of services and "green" products. Of yoga mats in all rooms, a farmer market stall at the
reception and even an hourglass in the bathroom to encourage customers to reduce their time to 5 minutes in the shower.
The project of the new brand 1 Hotels a turning point for the company that Starwood has an impressive portfolio of major chains such as W Hotels, St. Regis and Le Meridien. Luxury synonyms institutions and impeccable customer service rather than a concern for ecological sustainability.
1 Hotels Central Park, whose opening is expected in late July, is expected to emerge as the flagship of the new channel. The brand already has a facility in South Beach Florida and provides an alternative to the Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Designed by the design company AvroKo Hospitality, Hotel Central Park uses natural and recycled materials. It will be easily identifiable in the streets of the Big Apple thanks to its 3-story wall covered with English ivy.
The beams and lumber used in construction are from local factories and barns. The building, which combines brick, marble, stone and glass, is decorated with natural fabrics and earth tones, creating an atmosphere of calm and peace.
In addition to the yoga mat, each room is equipped with recycled paper hangers. Even more amazing, we note the absence of plastic, paper and telephone in the room sleeping.
In their place, small blackboards old are on the bedside tables for note taking.
Guests sleep in hypoallergenic linens organic linen, mattresses on Keesta containing hemp. The bathrooms remind customers of the importance of water conservation with the presence of hourglasses set to 5 minutes.
To attract wealthy travelers to ecological awareness, the hotel also offers a Tesla electric car service, free valet service for bicycles and a free parking space for every customer who uses a electric car.
Finally, the famous American chef Jonathan Waxman will propose its traditional Californian accents JAMS restaurant while at the reception, a farmer's market stall will be installed in everyday life. A chance to provide fruits and vegetables locally sourced seasonal customer.
The rates for a room at 1 Central Park Hotel start at 474 euros.
