The impending threat of the melting polar ice caps has people questioning, “What can I do for my environment?” What if there was a way to do your part in luxury? Fairmont Hotels and Lexus have joined forces to unveil two “Lexus Hybrid Living Suites,” the Fairmont San Francisco and Fairmont Washington D.C. The suites have found a way to marry the concept of the “Green Movement” with luxury and offer guests a fully sustainable and organic experience. Every room includes eco-friendly bath amenities, mini-bats with local wines, organic farmstead cheeses and much more.

Visitors are offered complimentary use of a Lexus LS 600h L, a low-emission luxury car while staying in their luxury suite comprised of organic and rapidly renewable resources. Eco-friendly comes at no cost to chic style with interior designs by famed eco-designer Kelly LaPlante, whose designs are based on organic fabrics, mattresses, paint, recycled leather from Lexus vehicles, pillows, towels and robes. Guests also receive a Green Guide and audio podcast that recommends environmentally friendly activities that can also be found on the Lexus Hybrid Living website. And now through December 30, 2008 the Eco is the new Chic package includes accommodations in the Lexus Hybrid Living Suite, access to the Lexus LS 600h L, complimentary parking and a bottle of organic wine and is available for $869 plus tax per night.

And if not for the eco-friendly theme, the Fairmont San Francisco is situated in the center of town with bay windows that offer picturesque views of Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and China town.
