Sure, you've heard of LEED certification, so what the bleep does LEEDEB cert stand for? That "EB" tagged onto the end is a designation for "existing buildings." Know what that means? The Ambrose Hotel in Santa Monica, Cali. went green before the term had even been established. Doesn't get much cooler than that.The first-ever hotel in the United States to earn the certification, The Ambrose is home to 77 luxe guestrooms and a Feng Shui atmosphere... koi pond included. A member of the Green Hotels ASsociation and the U.S. Green Building Council, the hotel has garnered such awards as the Google Green Drummer award.
What makes it greener than green? How about a biodiesel-fueled taxi service, hybrid limo service, non-toxic cleaning supplies, Energy Star-rated applicances, low-flow toilets, zero VOC, all-natural amenities, limestone countertops, organic linens and water-based paints? There's an organic breakfast spread, natch.
Rates start at $239. More info at http://www.ambrosehotel.com/.
