The Midwest’s Groundbreaking Hotel Celebrates its First Anniversary and Leadership in Green Technology
September 18, 2017. Oberlin, Ohio – When The Hotel at Oberlin opened last September it significantly raised the bar for environmentally sustainable hotels, as it is one of the first hotels in the US to incorporate solar and geothermal power as well as use radiant heating and cooling
Now the 70-room property owned by Oberlin College and managed by The Olympia Companies has become a vital part of the Oberlin community. It both welcomes and educates guests about the vanguard of green living, hosting environmental conferences such as “After Fossil Fuels” as well as innovative meetings. The hotel has also become one of the most important wedding venues in all of Lorain County. Under Chef Jim Barnhart, the hotel’s restaurant, 1833, serves an inventive locavore menu and promotes Ohio farms, microbrews and wines.
