Vastint Hospitality’s Moxy Glasgow Scottish Exhibition Centre has been awarded LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council.
The 243-room Moxy hotel is located close to the Scottish Exhibition Centre (SEC). The SEC includes the OVO Hydro (concert venue), SEC Armadillo (auditorium) and SEC Centre (exhibition and event halls). A stone’s throw from the Hydro, the hotel is conveniently located with great transport links and is suited to both business and leisure travelers.
The hotel offers eight floors of bedrooms which are located above the ground floor. The ground floor contains the hotel lobby and also features a spacious gym and two meeting rooms. The building also has two separate retail units.
All 243 rooms provide high-speed Wi-Fi, 42-inch smart televisions and USB ports. The hotel and its rooms are constructed to the highest eco-standards – all part of the ambition to be the most environmentally friendly hotel chain in Europe.
LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. LEED certification provides independent verification of a building’s green features, allowing for the design, construction, operations and maintenance of resource-efficient, high-performing, healthy, cost-effective buildings. LEED is the triple bottom line in action, benefiting people, planet and profit.
A standard of LEED Gold, or higher, is being sought for all further Moxy hotel projects.
