March 30 (UPI) -- A Kentucky hotel is offering houseplant-loving tourists the chance to bring them along to the "World's First Plant-Friendly Hotel experience."
VisitLEX, the convention and visitors bureau of Lexington, teamed up with Elwood Hotel & Suites to offer a special set of amenities to guests traveling with their houseplants in tow.
"Thanks to a years-long pandemic and the rising costs of parenthood, pets are the new babies. And plants have been promoted to the new pets," VisitLEX said in a news release.
The "World's First Plant-Friendly Hotel experience," which kicks off April 8, will offer The Gardener's Premier Corner Room Package for six king suites "specially chosen for their abundance of plant friendly natural light."
The package also includes greenery provided by Pemberton's Greenhouses, a complimentary potted succulent, botanical toiletries from Kentucky Soaps & Such and a "tea" for plants served in a pink mug.
