"Buildings, too, are children of Earth and Sun."
-Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright, whose philosophy was to marry open architecture with the natural surroundings, served as the inspiration for the architectural design of the Emory Conference Center Hotel.

We have taken his philosophy of combining nature and architecture a step further and are pleased to have been placed on the coveted list of Environmentally Certified Hotels as of August 2004.

Green Seal, an independent, nonprofit environmental standard setting and certification organization, certifies hotels as "green" based on a very stringent list of environmentally protective policies.

This list includes state regulatory compliance, as well as specific requirements such as waste minimization; refuse and recycling; water and energy efficiency; and conservation management.

Green Seal enacted the Certification program to help travelers, meeting planners and government and corporate travel buyers identify environmentally responsible lodging properties.
