Canada to Get Eco-Hotels
A new line of simplistic and chic green hotels is expected to open in Canada later this year. These ALT Hotels are designed by Quebec architect Viateur Michaud and developed by Groupe Germain and they are expected to be on the forefront of energy efficient technology.
The hotels will include a geothermally charged heating and cooling system,have energy efficient light sources, movement-monitored lighting, and low flo plumbing.
“The type of hotel we are introducing today reflects a strong trend in hotel accommodation, especially in Europe and Asia,” Christiane Germain, CEO of Groupe Germain, said in a statement. “It’s been dubbed ‘no-frills-chic’ and combines design, atmosphere and chic interiors with the best possible price.”
The first hotel in the chain is currently being built in Montreal and is expected to open in September 2007.
