The 57-room Inn by the Sea has completed a multi-million-dollar makeover, according to the inn’s general manager, Sara Masterson. The renovation combines contemporary amenities and green design features.
The renovations include the addition of a full-service spa and cardio room, the Sea Glass restaurant, a fireplace lounge and expanded decks for outdoor ocean-view dining.
The Inn worked with a LEED consultant on the spa addition, used recycled rubber for the cardio room floor, painted with low-volatile organic compound paint, sealants and wall coverings and used recycled sheet rock. The salinated pool is heated with solar panels, and an air-to-air heat exchanger saves energy. Guests are wrapped in bamboo towels, use “green” recycled-paper key cards and are surrounded by indigenous landscape. The inn’s sheet and towel program donates savings to help the endangered monarch butterfly.
The Inn By the Sea was recently named one of Tripadvisor’s Top Ten Green hotels worldwide and Top 100 Hotels in US & Canada by Travel & Leisure.
