Environmental Sustainability

Caring for the planet is a natural extension of Hyatt’s purpose—to care for people so they can be their best. Below are specific examples of environmental stewardship at our hotel.

Overview

We are the first hotel in Seattle Gold-certified by LEED, an international green building certification system
Our participation in King County’s Transfer of Development Rights program has permanently protected 5 acres of local farmland and 5,285 acres of local forest, which includes salmon habitat along the Tolt River.
During construction regionally sourced, manufactured, and recycled materials were selected for 20%+ of our building products. 95% of construction waste was diverted from landfills.
Carbon Emissions per room night: 6 kg
We are Green Key certified with the maximum of 5 Green Keys.

Carbon Emissions and Water

Our building uses 30% less water than a comparable building through the use of Dual flush toilets and low-flow plumbing fixtures.
High efficiency mechanical systems and LED cold cathode fluorescent lighting on automatic occupancy sensors reduce our energy usage by 18%.
Highly efficient escalators and process fans exceed requirements of Seattle Energy Code.
