Eco-Friendly Hotel Company Launched

Candela Hotels, an environmentally-focused hotel company specializing in luxury properties, was recently launched out of Seattle.

Plans are under way to break ground on the first Candela Hotel in late 2008 in Seattle.

The Candela Hotel and Residences, Seattle will tower 36 stories over the city’s downtown district and feature approximately 150 guest rooms and 90 residences. It is slated to open in 2010.

Candela Hotels is aiming for its flagship property to receive a LEED Gold certification for top-notch sustainability practices.

Discussions are in the works for additional Candela hotels to be built in other areas of the U.S., as well as in China and India.
