Hotelier Deirdre Wallace: Eco-Friendly Luxury

Since the first days of the green movement, consumers have been on the lookout for ways to save the planet while keeping their standard of luxury. Deirdre Wallace introduced such a way when she opened The Ambrose Hotel in Santa Monica, California in 2003. With 77 rooms, The Ambrose is the ideal size to compete with major hotel chains while keeping all the perks a boutique hotel has to offer. On top of that, this hotel reduces, reuses, recycles and composts. With rave reviews from such publications as Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times and Conde Nast Traveller, Wallace has a lot to teach about how to help save the environment and offer affordable luxury at the same time.
