Element Ewing Hopewell, a new eco-chic boutique hotel, has earned a coveted LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council
. Located in the central New Jersey town of Ewing, it is the state‘s first LEED-certified hotel.
Designed to be “green from the ground up,” Element hotels were launched in 2008 by Starwood Hotels & Resorts as the first major hotel brand to pursue LEED certification for all its properties. Starwood calls Element its “green innovation lab,” where sustainable practices are tested before migrating to other Starwood brands.
With Element Ewing Hopewell’s certification, four Element hotels in North America now boast LEED accreditation.
