According to the Chicago Climate Action Plan, 71% of green house gas emissions in the city result from buildings, with hotels being a considerable contributing factor as a result of their 24-hour operations.  The Talbott Hotel is committed to reducing its carbon footprint while meeting expectations for a luxury hotel.

Operating on a platform of 'Sustainability without Compromise,' they insist that Green initiatives only enhance the already high standards for guest comfort and convenience.

The Talbott's Green initiative lets guests decide whether or not they'd like to join the effort by activating the "eco-mode" on specially designed thermostats in their rooms.  The simple one-touch button alerts the staff, through a wireless network, that the guest has chosen to have the bed and bath linens replaced every other day. It also allows the room temperature to adjust within 8 degrees while guests are out of the room.
