With this month's launch of six new 'low carbon' footprint rooms, Johannesburg's boutique hotel, The Peech, has upped its stakes as The 'HIP' destination of choice.
Once again an expression of the ideas, passions and inspirations of owner James Peech, the hotel's new eco-wise accommodation wing comprises four luxury double en-suite rooms and two spacious 60m2 suites. Each suite is further enhanced with a private garden.
Says Peech: "A stay in one of our new rooms offers as low an impact on the environment as is currently feasible in South Africa.
"Water heating is generated via solar energy, while rain water and grey water from the baths and showers is processed and recycled for use on the garden. This will help to lessen the hotel's environmental footprint by saving on the city treating sewage water and processing new water simply for use in garden irrigation."
While carbon emissions are down, style in the new rooms is hotter than ever! Interiors boast the same chic and contemporary feel as the rest of the hotel - only, this time, the look is more refined.
Expect designer bathrooms and rooms finished in a neutral palette that is brought to life with vibrant splashes of colour and ultra-stylish design pieces like hanging bubble chairs.
Huge picture windows with views onto The Peech's lush landscaped gardens complete the scene.
And the architectural style? While the exterior of the new rooms has been designed to blend in with existing hotel structures, within, guests can anticipate a showcase in the ultimate design for luxury hotel living.
