Looking for a place to stay in Austin, Texas? Bring a photo of the solar panels you've installed on your home or business and you're privy to a 15 percent discount at Habitat Suites Hotel.It may look like just another brick building from the outside, but once you've stepped in, it's obvious that this place has put a load of effort into greening up. (View a Flash tour of the property's green efforts here.) From an 18 kilowatt 108 solar panel system to "coreless" toilet paper rolls, every step taken at Habitat seems to be consciously green.
What I find most endearing is the detailed booklet that outlines exactly how the hotel and its staff keeps the place running ecologically smooth. (Download it here). Impressive stuff for an independent hotel and small business.
Intrigued by the website, Google led me to this article in the Austin Chronicle, which quotes general manager Natalie Marquis, "It's about being human-friendly."
I completely agree. And next time I find myself in Austin, you can guess where I'll stay.
