Gaia Napa Valley Hotel & Spa is the world’s first and only Gold LEED Certified Hotel.  What did it take to earn this certification?  Low VOC paints used throughout, carpet containing post consumer recycled material, recycled tiles and granite, low flush toilets and low flow showers, solar panels, and locally grown food provided at the restaurant; to name some of the many efforts that went in to what is today Gaia.

With 131 “green” rooms situated on four acres in American Canyon, just south of Napa, there is even a real-time display in the lobby showing how much energy is being used and saved at the hotel moment by moment.  Gaia is the first of its kind, but hopefully just one in a long list to come. [More]
