Best Green Hotel in Austin!

by KatariG

?Habitat Suites is an oasis in the middle of Austin, Texas. Their commitment to Ecological Consciousness sets the bar for Green Hotels. Enjoyed an awesome (and sustainable) breakfast of eggs (from happy chickens raised at a local farm) with biscuits plus gravy or local fruit. The grounds have integrated vegetable gardens with indigenous plants and they often donate vegetables to the homeless. The suites are beautifully appointed and I love the fact they use environmentally safe cleaning products. I would recommend Habitat Suites to anyone visiting Austin or for just a great escape if you are local. Be sure to try the saline pool and note the solar panels that grace the roof! I give this environmental hotel 5 stars!?

• Pros: Ecological Consciousness, Sustainability, Green Hotel, Solar, Gardening, Environmentally Friendly,

Excellent service, very quiet home-like atmosphere, across from Mall, great for families with children

We were so impressed with this very clean quiet hotel, like a small apartment, excellent for families, nice staff, even nicer than the Marriotts that we have stayed in. Very highly recommended!

I have just returned from a reunion with my friends at Habitat Suites! It is a fabulous place to stay! The rooms are wonderful, clean and very comfortable accommodations. The complimentary breakfast is outstanding and Happy Hour was "the icing on the cake!" I hope to stay there any time I am back in Austin. They should make it a chain for other cities around the US. Definitely, the price was right! Thanks for helping to make this a terrific visit to a great city!

• Pros: Excellent breakfast!
• Cons: Need to have some 2 bedrooms on the first floor. Stairs were a little difficult for some.
