Posh hotels don't always mean soaring prices, proves the newest NYLO hotel in Providence/Warwick, Rhode Island.Urban and loft-structured, it's a deal for NYC dwellers seeking a simple escape. Of course, it's eco-friendly, too... in fact, it's the first Rhode Island hotel to run on 100 percent renewable energy thanks to a partnership with People's Power & Light (PP&L). Through the partnership, NYLO's electricity usage is offset by a mix of local and regional solar, wind, biomass and hydroelectric power sources. (That makes NYLO PP&L's largest R.I. customer, by the way.)
