Another great "property" I've come across in research - Winner of Travel and Leisure's Global Vision Awards in Environmental Leadership for 2010...
"Costa Rica’s status as a forerunner in green travel is built on pioneering hotels such as Lapa Rios Ecolodge and Latitude 10 Beach Resort. What these properties have in common is Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality, a small management company that works with them (plus three more in Costa Rica and one in Nicaragua) to help combine luxury with sustainability. Rooms are carefully set within forests, infinity pools are maintained with salt and ionization, and refillable water bottles are provided at check-in." -T&L
It is refreshing to see a hotel management company taking the initiative to make impressive changes (especially since reading Cornell Hospitality Research reports that found that management company operated hotels have lower sustainability scores).
This proves that sustainability isn't rocket science, it's simply good management practices. So go lead by example!
