The Hampton Inn & Suites is the first LEED® Certified - Silver hotel in Sarasota County. The hotel also became the first Hampton Inn and Suites in the country to earn the prestigious certification awarded by the US Green Building Council to energy efficient and sustainable buildings. The hotel developers, Finergy Development LLC, strived to reduce the environmental impact of the project from the point of site selection, throughout the construction process, up to the day-to-day operations of the hotel.
