Hotel Felix is the first hotel in Chicago to earn LEED Silver certification. Designed by Gettys, the adaptive-reuse property offers a stable of sustainable features: recycled content used in the corridor and guestroom carpet, bamboo and cork flooring in the public areas, low-VOC compound paints and wallcoverings, millwork certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, in-room motion sensor systems, free parking for hybrid vehicles, no bleach use throughout the property, and complimentary fair-trade coffee. This year, more than 1 million gallons of water will be saved through the property’s water reduction program. In addition, the hotel recently installed wind turbines on its roof to study the potential of further reducing its carbon footprint by generating its own renewable energy.
