Need green San Francisco hotel suggestions? Hotel chain Joie de Vivre says it now has the most certified green hotels in San Francisco.
That’s according to standards set by the certifying body San Francisco Green Business. Some five out of 10 of the hotels to achieve this certification are Joie de Vivre properties. They are Hotel Del Sol; Galleria Park ( below); Hotel Vitale (above); Hotel Carlton and Hotel Drisco.
Says Chip Conley, Joie de Vivre founder and CEO:
“By the end of 2009, roughly one-third of our hotels had achieved official green certification. Achieving formal certification requires a long-term investment of time and resources. These hotels reflect our commitment to environmental conservation, and we are working steadily toward green certification for all of our hotels.”
