Green Hotel. Enviably set on the slopes of one of America’s most legendary ski resorts, Hotel Terra marks the debut of Terra Resort Group (the country’s first eco-hospitality brand). The 72-room property is modern (along Nouveau Western lines, with black wooden furniture and faux suede curtains), high-tech, and seriously committed to the environment. Where Terra shines is in delivering green in subtle ways. Those floor-to-ceiling windows? They regulate temperature and capture natural light, all a part of the building’s LEED-certified design. The linens are 100 percent organic, as are the products at the spa. And the rooftop hot tub is maintained with nonchemical cleaners. Then there are several simple additions that we hope will become hospitality standards: aluminum dispensers in bathrooms (eliminating wasteful plastic containers), Sigg-style water bottles in rooms (available for purchase at the end of a stay) that guests can refill at stations throughout the hotel, and—hallelujah!—recycling bins discreetly placed in closets.
