Silver LEED for Beaver Creek's Westin!

For all you eco-travelers out there, Colorado now has a silver LEED certified hotel in the Westin Riverfont Resort & Spa in Beaver Creek! I will be adding the Westin Riverfront to the next edition of my Moon Denver guidebook. It is the only Westin in the world to achieve this status and the 9th hotel in the U.S. What does it all mean? More importantly, how can you experience it? Here's how:

In celebration of its Silver LEED status, the resort has created The Westin Riverfront Green Package. Starting at $149 per night for a studio suite during the off season and $319 per night during peak winter season, the package includes:

Accommodations in a spacious studio suite
Purchase of Verified Carbon Credits to offset the carbon emissions from a round-trip drive to the Vail Valley from metro Denver, purchased from Sustainable Travel International
A bottle of in-house purified water delivered in a recycled glass container from Restaurant Avondale
Participation in Westin’s “Make a Green Choice” program, which allows guests to opt out of towel/linen replacement and housekeeping for up to three days for your choice of either a $5 resort gift card for each night of participation or 500 Starpoints for each stay
Complimentary valet parking when you arrive with more than two people in the vehicle OR in a hybrid vehicle

Guests looking to experience a little extra relaxation can upgrade to The Westin Riverfront Green Spa Package, which includes all of the above, plus a $150 credit to Spa Anjali and a stainless steel Spa Anjali water bottle. Rates for The Westin Riverfront Green Spa Package start at $199 per night. A three night minimum stay is required on both packages and certain restrictions apply.
