As part of Lexus' Hybrid Living initiative, the brand has created a luxurious, eco-friendly hotel room at the Fairmont San Francisco dubbed the Lexus Hybrid Living Suite. The room was designed by L.A.-based interior designer Kelly LaPlante, who specializes in organic interiors.
The centerpiece of the living room, a custom coffee table that LaPlante designed using leather reclaimed from Lexus prototypes, is probably the cleverest interpretation of the theme. There's also the classic elegance of the LaPlante-designed sofas and pillows by the Q Collection that feature non-toxic wood, finishes, adhesives and fabrics. From the wool rugs dyed with vegetable dyes to organic Coyuchi bedding, every square inch of the suite has been reinvented with an eco-consciouness. Last but not least, the Hybrid Living Suite's Nandina robe, made from 75% bamboo and 25% cotton, is simply the silkiest, most sumptuous item of the suite, perfectly embodying the eco-values and luxuriousness that is largely the point.
To top off the experience, a stay in the eco-suite ($869 nightly) comes with complimentary use of a Lexus LS 600h L, the new V8 hybrid. The second such suite, also designed by LaPlante, is due to open later this spring at the Fairmont's D.C. location.
