GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Where once you could buy diamonds, you could now stay in what may be the crown jewel of environmentally friendly boutique hotels.
The CityFlats Hotel, occupying the space once held by Fox Jewelers on Monroe Center in downtown Grand Rapids, boasts a different decor for every one of the 28 rooms.
What isn't noticeable, though, is the efforts taken to keep the property as green as possible. All the lights are energy-efficient LEDs, and every drop of paint meets the latest standards for LEED certification.
However, the hotel itself has not yet received its LEED certification.
Even the location and experience the hotel offers are designed with green in mind.
