The world’s best hotels for vegetarians and vegans: eat, stay, love

As we become increasingly aware about climate issues, travellers look more and more for accommodations that have a deep connection with the planet. It’s no surprise that eco-friendly hotels that have been designed to sit as one with the earth are becoming popular. So too, those of us who choose a plant-based lifestyle seek to stay at places where more than a tomato pasta is offered on the menu. The best hotels for vegetarians and vegans can be found across the globe and serve not only wonderful epicurean delights but a range of health and wellness experiences rooted in nature.
