Ranking Tool for Green Hotels
August 28, 2009 – 10:07 pm by MarinaHanes
What is your idea of a green hotel? Maybe it’s a hotel that uses eco-friendly cleaning supplies or Energy Star appliances. Depending on how high you set your standards, you might have a long list of preferred earth friendly amenities. If you do set the bar high when it comes to choosing a green hotel, wouldn’t it be convenient if the hotel had a green score for you to refer to?
RezHub.com has individually ranked more than 1,600 hotels in over 40 countries, so the number of tree branch icons a hotel has determines how green it is. For example, do a quick search for green hotels in Boulder, Colorado, and you will come up with three matches: St. Julien Hotel and Spa, Hotel Boulderado and Boulder Outlook Hotel and Suites. Right from the search results, you can see that Hotel Boulderado scored two branches, because they have amenities such as recycling, organic food, re-usable service items, water conservation, etc. This hotel has a good ranking, but the two other hotel options received four Green Branches so you might want to stay at one of these hotels instead.
Even if you choose not to sort by green hotels, the hotels with green amenities will still come up in the same search results as a normal hotel search. When you click on a hotel’s Green Branches, RezHub provides a list of green amenities showing why the hotel deserves its Green Score. If you prefer hotels that offer organic food and use compact fluorescent lighting and a fresh-air exchange system, this is an easy way to locate a hotel with all of your green needs. Watch the feature tour to learn more, because now when you have to leave your green home you can use this tool to find a place to stay that is suitable for you and your lifestyle.
