Marriott Hawaii Offers First Allergy-Free Guest Rooms

April 25th, 2008 by World Traveler

Do you have bad allergies or are you a germaphobic? Marriot is the first hotel chain to create an allergy-free room at their hotel in Hawaii. The JW Marriott Ihilani Resot & Spa is the first in Hawaii and one of the first in the United States to use the PURE system where guests on the 17th floor and the Presidential Suite receive “an ultimate allergy-friendly room environment.” The PURE system treats the room to specially remove contaminants from ‘bedding, carpeting, walls, furniture, air conditioning systems, and practically everything in the room.’ All five resort hotels in Hawaii are taking on green initiatives throughout the hotels.

When the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa converts its 35,000-square-foot Ihilani Spa, it will become the first and only spa facility in the United States to be entirely allergy-friendly. The five Marriott Resort hotels in Hawaii all aim to be not just allergy-free, but also energy efficient, protective of native wildlife and responsible in their water use.
