For each guest who books to stay with us on our special Carbon Offset Rate we will plant a tree on their behalf with the <a href="http://www.nativewoodtrust.ie/">Native Woodland Trust</a> and you will then receive a certificate (emailed of course!) So help play your part, every little helps!</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/239046865994538380-303494382961003946?l=greatsouthernhotelgroup.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06717445866618718810noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239046865994538380.post-33810436901809655022008-04-24T07:54:00.000-07:002008-12-09T09:35:11.695-08:00The Burlington reopened its doors today revealing its sleek new lobby and Bellini's Bar.
