1 Hotel Central Park

"AvroKo group and Kemper Hyers are behind the impressive design of this 229-room eco-conscious hotel. Perhaps only in a 1 Hotel could rooms come with stylish reclaimed wood furniture, recycled cardboard hangers line the closet, hemp Keetsa mattresses come topped with organic cotton sheets, and a Google Nexus tablet tracks your carbon footprint. The clever details don’t end there, either: The floor in the fitness center is actually the old University of Wisconsin basketball court; restrooms feature moss growing on the ceilings; and even the hotel's three-story living-wall exterior is composed of recycled materials and helps to conserve water." - CNT Editors
