Our Downtown Portland Hotel’s Favorite Color is Green.
Our Courtyard by Marriott is Portland’s greenest hotel, the first Gold LEED-certified hotel in the Pacific Northwest, and one of only 15 in the entire country. We’re reducing our carbon footprint by using 28% less energy than normally used in a conventional building. We recycle, compost, conserve water and seek out and use earth-friendly products. As a result, Travel Portland presented us with their 2010 Green Travel Award.
