The hotel has become the first metro Denver hotel to receive LEED Gold certification and the second in the SpringHill Suites by Marriott brand portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>The 150-suite hotel opened, alongside the 28,000-square-foot state-of-the-art Hotel and Hospitality Learning Center, in 2012. The public-private partnership between MSU Denver and Sage Hospitality created a dynamic environment for education and on-the-job training for students. The learning center is the first of its kind in the Rocky Mountain region and one of only 11 in the whole country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSage Hospitality is dedicated to operating eco-friendly hotels, so we are extremely proud to receive Denver&#8217;s first LEED\u00ae Gold certification,\u201d says Walter Isenberg, president &amp; CEO of Sage Hospitality. \u201cThis property gives both business and leisure guests an amazing green lodging option in the heart of downtown Denver and we are using it as a model of sustainability for all future development projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hotel and learning center earned a total of 62 LEED points and their green features include: the use of high efficiency plumbing fixtures and low VOC paints and flooring; secure bicycle storage with lockers and changing rooms to encourage employees and students to use alternative transportation. Close to 20 percent of the building was constructed using recycled materials and more than 78 percent of material waste from the construction was recycled. Ninety percent of regularly occupied areas offer natural day lighting.<\/p>\n<p>The downtown Denver hotel also features numerous amenities including a market, a fitness center, complimentary area shuttle service and complimentary hot breakfast. The SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown also offers 5,000 square feet of meeting and event space.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.multihousingnews.com\/market-data\/economic-upswing-and-light-rail-expansion-paving-the-way-for-investors-in-the-denver-market\/1004101512.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Click here<\/a><\/strong> for more market data on Denver.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image Courtesy of: www.springhillsuitesdenver.com<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown at MSU Denver recently announced it has received LEED Gold certification for New Construction from the U.S. Green Building Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":264,"featured_media":1004507276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1587,21742],"tags":[1815],"class_list":["post-1004097781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-denver","category-latest","tag-national"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
