1 Hotel Central Park will offer yoga mats in every room, a lobby farmstand, even a sand timer that gently encourages guests to take short, five-minute showers.

The same hotel group that operates well-established luxury brands such as the W Hotels and St. Regis is about to open the flagship property for its newest chain in New York, an eco-friendly luxury hotel brand.

When 1 Hotel Central Park opens at the end of the month, it will target wealthy, eco-minded travelers with the promise of hemp-blend Keesta mattresses covered with hypoallergenic, organic linens, paperless and plastic-free rooms and Tesla electric car services.

Here's a sneak peek into the luxurious 1 Hotel Central Park by Starwood Group of Hotels. Rooms start at USD525 USD (RM2,000).

 



Bathroom amenities are made from natural ingredients.



Guestrooms are outfitted with hypoallergenic organic cotton and linens.



Materials are natural and repurposed, such as beams and timber from local factories and barns, marble, stone and brick.


 

Bathrooms come with five-minute sand timers to help eco-minded guests conserve water.


 

Rooms are paperless and plastic-free.


 

Small chalkboard tablets -- the old-fashioned kind, not of the digital variety -- are placed on the bedside table for note-taking.
