The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel is offering complimentary parking for hybrid vehicles. From now through the end of the year guests staying, dining at or attending a meeting at the hotel can park their hybrid vehicle for free.

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2006 -- The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel is appealing to eco-savvy travelers by offering complimentary parking for guests driving hybrid vehicles. Effective now through December 31, guests staying, dining or attending a meeting at the hotel can feel "green" with the free parking offer.

"We think this is an effective offer for travelers and businesspeople alike who are environmental enthusiasts," said Chris Orr, director of sales and marketing at the Hollywood hotel. "Additionally we are contributing to the local eco-friendly attitude you'll often find in Los Angeles and southern California, by cutting emissions to help preserve the environment."

The free hybrid parking offer is available at various other Renaissance properties across the United States, and has been lauded by many green hotel groups and countrywide lodging associations.

"We think this is a fun and constructive offer to our guests who are helping the environment by driving hybrid vehicles," said Hank Biddle, senior vice president of Renaissance Hotels and Resorts, North America. 'Our hotels are finding new ways to conserve energy, and this is a unique way to involve the customer."

The luxury Los Angeles hotel's commitment to the environment has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of Marriott, an Energy Star Partner of the Year for two consecutive years. The agency also awarded its coveted Energy Star label to 183 Marriott-branded hotels. The Renaissance Hollywood has hence contributed to Marriott's larger accomplishment of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 68,000 tons annually--the equivalent of removing 15,000 cars from the road or planting 1,500,000 trees per year. Marriott is the only lodging company to be recognized and the only company to receive the EPA's highest honor for two consecutive years.
