Conde Nast Traveler's online concierge.com site showcases nine eco-yet-luxury retreats all over the world. As writer Matthew Link exclaims, er, explains:
"Yes, yes, Mr. Gore, of course we all want to do our part for the environment. But the inconvenient truth is that we're loath to trade in our resort's 1,000-thread-count bed sheets for rough-woven ones that feel like burlap. Perhaps we're asking for a lot, but aren't there hotels that are environmentally friendly and still sinfully sumptuous? The answer is yes... So drop into one of these green retreats—and check your guilt at the door."One of the featured green luxury resorts is this one pictured above in Egypt that was built entirely out of clay and salt and eschews electricity. It was good enough for Prince Charles and Camilla, who are by the way eco-champions themselves. So if you can shell out the $400 a night charge, it'll be all in the name of the environment.
