Courtyard by Marriott Portland City Center has become Marriott International‘s first LEED Gold certified hotel. Sustainable efforts include energy- and water-saving tools, green housekeeping products, organic bath products, compact fluorescent lighting, and composting restaurant food waste. Meanwhile, non-PVC wallcoverings, low-VOC paints, and low urea-formaldehyde casework in the guestrooms are used to create healthier indoor air quality. The hotel also offers bike storage and changing rooms for employees, who wear uniforms made of recycled plastic bottles.
