When you’re in Ann Arbor for business, it’s reassuring to know the hotel, restaurant or business you’re at has incorporated some eco-friendly touches.
The newly constructed Homewood Suites was built with both your comfort and carbon neutrality in mind. The hotel has a vegetated roof and solar panels, plus plenty of electric vehicle charging stations. DoubleTree Ann Arbor puts recycling at the forefront by using recycled paper products, including recycling receptacles in every guest room and meeting space and giving worn linens and towels a new life through donation to the humane society.
Things get even greener at Robin Hills Farm. This 129-acre education and event center features a working farm, miles of walking trails, two ponds and diverse landscapes to help inspire your team during your next meeting.
Every hotel in the city makes it easy to connect with business partners from around the globe with its tech-centric rooms that limit emissions and plane travel.
This is just scratching the surface, though, as the city aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. And by the looks of things, it's well on its way to making that happen.
