When The Savoy opened its gilded gates in London last year after a staggering £220 million restoration project, London couldn't stop talking about it. (And when we dropped by for a visit earlier this year, there was an impressive line of visitors gawking at the famous bars and lobby.) A lot of ink has been spilled about the "most ambitious hotel restoration in British history"-- but did you know that it was also an eco-friendly one? (Fairmont-- who manages the hotel-- gets serious props for its green programs.) The Savoy is all about sustainable luxury, having installed the latest in green technology in the hotel, and having launched various sustainable initiatives. To show guests the green side of London, the hotel has launched "The Savoy Elements Package." Here's what it includes:
* Overnight accommodation
* Return transfers in a luxury hybrid vehicle from a London airport or station
* A “Savoy Green Butler” to assist with requests such as packing and making travel arrangements as well as advising on green initiatives within the hotel and places of interest around London
* Welcome green gift on arrival
* Choice of inspirational 3-hour walking green tour of London
* Complimentary valet car parking if arriving by hybrid vehicle
* Complimentary use of a BMW bicycle with helmet provided
* An organic, 3-course dinner in either the River Restaurant with a pre-dinner, biodynamic cocktail
* Organic breakfast with selected organic juices
* A one-day travelcard allowing free use of London's public transport network
* A donation of £10 to London charity Thames 21, on behalf of the guest
* An organic, gourmet picnic hamper and blanket can be arranged at an additional cost
* Details of outdoor activities, including heritage sites, nature walks, cycle and jogging routes, wildlife centres, conservation programmes and community projects for volunteering are available through the Concierge
Rates from £825 per night, based on double occupancy and subject to availability.
