Which of course isn't a bad thing at all. <p>Recently the Cavendish launched "green meetings" for guests using the conference and meeting facilities, and this means that they're providing &#128;1 (US$1.50) as a carbon offset for every delegate guest. And, they're quick to point out, the hotel is donating this money from its own pockets, rather than adding it on to the bills (although really, in the end it all comes from the same place, right?).<p>This is all a warm and fuzzy thing to do, but we're not at all sure why it's only meeting amandak 2008-08-22T10:44:22-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/11/13/212950/02 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/hilton_anaheim.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>For those who frequent Disneyland, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hilton+Anaheim/ian/112976"><b>Hilton Anaheim</b></a> recently got some room renovations.
