An
emerald gem, aptly hidden in the Treasure Mountains, search and you shall find,
the jewel in the crown, the Treasure Mountain Inn. Treasure Mountain Inn runs
entirely on wind power, a strong statement in Treasure Mountain Inn’s intention
to go green and rely on renewable energy resources instead of fossil fuels. Treasure
Mountain Inn sees any item as brimming with potential to be recycled, and
recycles so often that it was nominated “Recycler of the year” in Utah for 2
years running previously.
Up next,
meet Felix the, wait for it, Hotel. The Felix Hotel does not simply puss around
with green initiatives. Instead, great deal of considerations goes into all
operations of the hotel, with emphasis stressed on minimal negative impact on
the environment. The Felix Hotel was delicately designed to be eco-friendly,
and built in such a way that it is able to draw on the surrounding for its heat
during the winters. Someone best let the cat out of the bag, and spread around
word that Felix Hotel is a serious contender in for the title of the “greenest hotel”.
By the
sea, lays another hidden gem, the Viking’s Greenstone Inn.
As it name suggests, Greenstone Inn has a harden resolve to be a thriving
green business, and it has done relatively well so far. The building itself was
constructed with recycled materials and construction-waste forming a bulk of construction materials. A solar grid helps to
partially power the Greenstone Inn, while also utilising advance technology to
reduce reliance on fossil fuel energy.
Nestled
within Jackson Hole, and having a soft spot for lodgings in natural habitats, I
had to include Bentwood Inn for a mention in
this post. Bentwood Inn fully runs on 100% renewable energy, while at the
same time still implements energy saving practises. Compact Fluorescent
lightings are but one example, with timers to switch off heaters at regular
intervals amongst other energy saving measures. Bentwood Inn happens to
be an enthusiastic advocate of green establishments as well, and works actively
together with these associations to help bring about a greener environment.
As always, the last hotel is the best there
is, I reckon. When it comes to being green, h2hotel certainly can claim to be one
of the leading green hotels there are. The construction of h2hotel took
place with great care given to the environment, with recycled materials being
the most utilised construction material. h2hotel also purchased items
only from its nearby local start ups, and does so with the intent of reducing
carbon emission from transportation of goods. Solar panels can be found at the
top of h2hotel, and is used to heat the pool and water system. h2hotel
measures are already impressive, but the hotel’s management believes that more
can be done, and I for one am excited to see further innovative implementations
of h2hotel!
So that’s my top 5 hotels in the United States unearthed recently! Below are more hotels, which are doing their part to be green as well! Have a look!
