The Renaissance Seattle Hotel has gone green in time for summer. Based in downtown Seattle, the hotel recently finished revamping the property and launching a series of eco-friendly initiatives. Renovations were made to the hotel's accommodations and lobby area, and the construction of a new ballroom designed for meetings and events.
To complement the new renovations, the Renaissance Seattle has adopted a number of environmentally friendly practices. Along with using energy efficient light and water systems, the hotel has placed recycle bins in meeting rooms and uses reusable items such as 100 percent recycled napkins, biodegradable pens, and compostable take-out utensils and boxes. The hotel has even incorporated motion-sensor vending machines to reduce the unnecessary expense of energy.
In addition, the Renaissance uses online event menus and electronic billing to reduce paper usage, especially for larger groups.
The Renaissance Seattle offers amenities such as mountain views, local artwork, a fitness center, and an indoor pool.
