I know that I am OFFENDED by non-stop 'Green' and the farse of Global Warming/Climate Change. I will go out of my way to avoid left-political establishments. You will lose as many, if not more customers than you will gain to advertise heavily. Global Warming and 'Green' are political and our nation is split.

Guests understand the importance of going green as shown in the growing movement in a plethera of 'green' standards per state.. Hoteliers as with anyone is often reluctant to change from the status quo even when significant money can be saved for a hotel or chain.

A good portion of a Luxury property can be green, but, depending on size, 100% may be too expensive for many.

Absolutely yes. Just let the guests know what you're doing and package it properly

True Luxury has a lot to do with service levels. Much of the 'green' policies can be invisible to customers. It is not simply a matter of changing the sheets and towels less often.

Part of the special experience of vacationing in 'Getting Away' from the norm having better bedding, softner luxious towels, food and drink is the Goal. Hotel developers and operators need very careful how they cut back on the experience. Most hotel operator companies are being run by financial analysts, wall street types and not hoteliers. The difference is in some cases top executives are making key decisions but are too far removed from the guest and guest experience. They rely on marketing analysis conducted by others or polls.

Many things, if done well, benefit the environment without impacting the guest experience. Being green by the way is also very subjective. There is no abolsute 'green' position. One luxury hotel can be greener when compared to another and still have an excellent guess experience wirthy of its five star rating.

I think true luxury comes from being green, natural products, but are the naturals up for the abuse they will receive in a hotel/motel. Cost could be prohibitive.
