Taking into account a number of green hotel amenities (like recycling and using renewable energy) and assigning a point amount to each amenity, RezHub.com has researched individual hotel properties over the past three years and compiled a database of these green amenities.  Once the amenities are applied to a specific hotel property, a total green hotel score is then provided.

We continually update our database to add and modify our green hotel listing, so be sure to check back often.

Clean the World continues to add to its partner hotel list and RezHub.com will work to provide a bookable index of hotels that participate.  Therefore, the next time you are looking for an environmentally friendly hotel, the Green Travel Hub from RezHub.com can provide another layer of information for which to based your decision.

  • Travelocity is offering up to 40% off green hotels
  • Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans is holding an Earth Day event to discuss a new foundation for assisting in the event of environmental disasters
  • The Hotel Felix in Chicago has been an active participant all month with a variety of events and deals.

It doesn’t take much to be a green traveler.  In fact, I challenge you to start on your next hotel stay with something simple.  Just make sure your lights are off when you depart the room.  That’s it.  If we can all do that, we are off to a great start.
