Manhattan-based Stonehill & Taylor Architects are currently working on four different LEED hotel projects in Manhattan, two of which we've written about previously here at gbNYC: The NoMad along Broadway just north of Madison Square Park and the Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo. The Broadway Hotel on West 94th Street will be for Hampshire Hotels & Resorts, which also own and operate The Dream, The Night and The Time hotels in Manhattan. Stonehill & Taylor's design will reuse both core and shell of a 95-year-old building and include waste heat reclamation systems, energy-efficient guestrooms with a variety of LED technologies, and occupancy sensors. The hotel's motif is that of a nature conservatory; the firm is aiming for "the feel of an academy of education overtaken by Central Park." The project should result in a four- or five-star hotel property with an unspecified level of LEED certification. Stonehill & Taylor's fourth LEED hotel project - the Fifteenth Street Hotel - is tentatively set for a 2011 opening.

Thrilled to hear eco-friendly hotels!
What an exciting project! I was thrilled to read the projects plans to "reuse both core and shell of a 95-year-old building and include waste heat reclamation systems, energy-efficient guestrooms with a variety of LED technologies, and occupancy sensors." I look forward to also reading more over atEnvironmentallyFriendlyHotels www.EnvironmentallyFriendlyHotels.com it's my trusty eco-travel guide when traveling. They list specific green features of a hotel and how they are giving back. I use that to keep with new hotels that are coming out as green to justify my stay. Here's hoping for a fab opening, I look forward to hearing more about these hotels!
