In a recent survey by Orbitz, 63 percent of millennial travelers said the hotel amenity they’d like to see more of is plants in hotel rooms. The same number said they seek plant-filled spaces and activities on vacation, including parks and botanical gardens.
Heeding that call, Orbitz collaborated with Garfield Park Conservatory and The Kimpton Gray, Chicago to create the first plant pop-up hotel. Act fast, as this stay is only bookable on Orbitz.com during National Indoor Plant Week, Sept. 16–20.
