You’re all about going green, but you’re sick of reading about it, talking about it, hearing about it. It’s great that the world’s now on board, but sometimes you just want to take a break—luckily, you can plan a getaway at several hotels that are making an environmental difference, but don’t flaunt their sustainable savvy. Here’s the scoop on a couple:

ALT Hotel Quartier Dix30

The luxurious ALT Hotel Quartier Dix30 in European-feeling Montreal is part of the first Canadian hotel chain to follow the principles of ecological architecture. The hotel boasts a plethora of innovative, eco-friendly features that will make your stay comfortable as well as easy on the earth. A few of the green features are easy to spot, like the recycle bins in your room and the dual-flush toilet installed in the bathrooms. But there’s much more going on behind the scenes. Geothermal heating and cooling control the temps in every room, and domestic hot water heating is recycled from the building’s air conditioning heat output. Low-E oversized windows maximize natural light in the guest rooms, and there are also direct digital control systems for ventilation, cooling and heating. Finally, light sensors reduce lighting in unoccupied stairwells by 50 percent.

Proximity Hotel

This Greensboro, N.C. hotel is paving the way for a sustainable future down South. Aiming to attain a gold or platinum LEED certification, Proximity Hotel puts into practice more than 70 green efforts, using 36. 5 percent less energy than a conventional hotel. A few of these practices include: using the sun’s energy to heat hot water with 100 solar panels on the roof; installing North America’s first Regenerative Drive model of the Otis’ Gen2 elevator, reducing net energy usage; partnering with regional vendors and artists to obtain materials; employing low-VOC paints, adhesives and carpets to reduce indoor-air contamination; and planning to complete a green, vegetated rooftop on the restaurant to reduce the “urban heat island effect,” instead reflecting heat and reducing the amount of energy needed for air conditioning and refrigeration.

The best part? You’d never know how easy it is to be green.
