10 Conscious Hotels In NYC
Wow, these 10 hotels in New York really impressed us. We have already visited the environmentally conscious 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge for Zero Waste Daniel´s fashion week party and the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn and we love both due to their natural interior and the ongoing support of sustainable projects. But we added some more hotels to our bucket list, which we would like to visit soon. See for yourself.
