TownePlace Suites by Marriott Baltimore BWI Airport Provides Bicycles to Hotel Guests

The Baltimore Soon to Be LEED Certified Hotel Is Implementing Sustainable Practices for Guests

TownePlace Suites by Marriott at Baltimore BWI Airport offers bicycles to hotel guests. Now guests at the Linthicum hotel can stay active and help preserve air quality by bicycling to work or nearby attractions instead of using a vehicle.

As TownePlace Suites, soon to be BWI's first LEED Certified hotel, finds ways to get guests involved in the hotel's green initiatives, it has rolled out practices that allow travelers to continue their eco-friendly habits while away from home.

"The bicycles are a great way to get guests out into the community for exercise and adventure. The BWI Biking and Walking trail is an ideal nearby attraction that gives riders a beautiful vantage point of our local area," Michelle Emley, General Manager.

In addition to providing bicycles, the soon to be LEED certified hotel in Baltimore has found creative ways to implement sustainable practices for guests. Now selling in the hotel's In A Pinch Market is Michele's Granola, a handmade all organic healthy local snack from Baltimore. In the hotel's On Us Breakfast, guests can enjoy Zeke's coffee, locally roasted in Baltimore. Guests also participate in a 100% waste neutral breakfast -- every food item and serve ware is compostable.

LEED Certification is an internationally recognized certification system that verifies that a building is using specific strategies aimed at saving energy & water, reducing CO2 emissions and improving indoor environmental quality.
