Videotur av @rufflife5: I spent my birthday here and was blown away by the mix of 70s history and modern sustainability. The Corner Suite upgrade was a huge bonus, and knowing the whole building is net-zero made the luxury feel even better. Definitely a unique spot in New Haven.

Stay at the Hotel Marcel in New Haven, Connecticut. Um, I wanted to share my experience because this isn't your average hotel.

Everything is used and renewed, um, everything is used by renewable energy. Um, so throughout the whole hotel. Um, one fact I do remember is that like the food is only sourced within a mile radius. Um, they removed all gas so all heating, cooling is running off of clean energy which was really interesting. Um, so yeah I just really wanted to share that fact. Um, so sustainable, um, for the community. Um, as we go through the tour you really do see like the lobby area.

All rooms um are have a great size honestly. Um, so when you are in the area if you need to like definitely check it out um as this hotel is a blend of
