Brulhart praised and thanked employees for working hard to earn the hotel many awards in various competitions, including the EarthCheck certification, which was based on data collected during the 2011 calendar year.

EarthCheck found the hotel has a sustainability policy in place and has nine of the assessed indicators at or above the baseline level. Seven of these indicators – energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, potable water consumption, water savings rating, waste sent to landfill, cleaning products rating, and pesticide products rating – are at or above the best-practice level, which the company said “is an achievement to be highly commended.”
