Vegan Wellness Center

“Vegan” and “wellness” go together like peas and carrots—studies on living animal-free prove again and again how healthy this lifestyle option is. The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte, is scheduled to open in October this year and has taken the hint. The hotel will have a wellness center that incorporates Eco-Luxe treatments and all of its products will be organic and vegan. The hotel is making a good effort to be sustainable and will reduce water usage with high-efficiency plumbing fixtures and with complimentary transportation in hybrid vehicles. Now, if only the hotel would go that extra step and get rid of the leather furniture and BLT Steak Restaurant, then they’d be truly sustainable.
