I2 tours City Flats Hotel – Holland, MI

THE FIRST LEED GOLD HOTEL IN THE MIDWEST
DSC02671 Their website says it best, “Stay different. Different is fun. It’s what keeps things interesting. Different keeps life more orange and less beige. Different leads to creating a LEED Gold certified hotel. One that doesn’t sacrifice style or our planet. After all, the earth has been good to us, so let’s return the favor. See? Different is good. We like different.”

Interior Image likes different too (and orange) so the hotel’s green design was very inspiring and fun to explore with oohs and aahs around every corner. You don’t have to be environmentally conscious to appreciate the hip/urban space. In fact the space is so stylish and full of eye candy (at least for us designer types) that you forget the chair your seated in was made locally. Or that your room is using 30% less water and is highly energy efficient… Congrats on the Gold.
