Most hotels are jumping on the bandwagon by, at the very least, introducing organic linens and natural bathroom amenities into suites. But more ambitious, environmentally-aware hoteliers and conglomerates are enacting full-scale green overhauls. From stem to stern, or penthouse to lobby, rather, we're seeing more hotels take the necessary steps toward meeting critical green standards. <p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Westin+Riverfront+Resort+and+Spa/local/749"><b>Colorado's Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa</b></a>, a hotel nestled among nature's mountains and trees, recently announced that they've <b>earned Silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification</b>, making them one of only nine Heidi Atwal 2009-09-30T16:55:41-05:00 Avon: Stay Three Nights at the Westin Riverfront, Get a 'Free' Heavenly Bed http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/8/12/101155/477

You know how sometimes a milestone birthday can turn into a birthday week, or even a whole month of birthday revelry? You know the drill: There’s the coworker lunch, and the happy hour with friends, and the special dinner date, and then the blowout party, and, well, any excuse to party, right?

Westin’s Heavenly Bed turned 10 this year, and we’d have to say it’s celebrating in style. There was the Greatest Birthday Cake Ever, and the stay-10-nights-in-Beijing-get-a-“free”-bed promo. And now, Beaver Creek’s new Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa is offering a similar, slightly cheaper deal.

The ritzy ski town of Vail, Colorado is in the middle of a "renaissance" — which, we assure you, is exactly what you may suspect: a lovely and fancy way of saying there is a lot of construction going on to build a few luxury hotels and to turn Vail Village into a cute little European-looking scene (it might look kinda like Disney world, but with more fur coats).

According to the Vail Daily News, the new Four Seasons on the way is slated for completion in late 2009 (hopefully in time for next year's ski season) and a new Ritz-Carlton will be ready in November 2010. ]]> Jenna 2008-12-09T13:54:54-05:00 Avon: Reader Review :: First Look Inside the Westin Riverfront Resort in Vail Valley http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/29/13417/5653 <![CDATA[<p><i>Every so often, we feature a hotel review from one of our readers that we feel should be shared with the rest of you dear hotel guests.
