The Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza announced its LEED Gold status, making the hotel the first LEED-certified hotel in the Windy City.
The 521-room Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza is part of the West Mart Center, which has also been awarded LEED Gold certification. The hotel, originally built in 1977, recently underwent a $20 million redesign that included a number of green measures, including the installation of solar film on many of its windows.
The property offers 25,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, an Italian and Asian fusion restaurant, and the Cityscape Bar.
