The 82-room Saybrook Point Inn & Spa, which opened as a renovated property in 1989, is the first full-service lodging establishment in Connecticut to earn the Energy Star from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy.

The inn is located on the site of one of New England’s first settlements (1623),in an environmentally sensitive area on the Connecticut River.

Some eco-friendly advancement include guestrooms that have been quipped with an energy management system to power the heating and cooling system based on occupancy, individual water-source heat pumps and a large heat exchanger (in the boiler room) that captures heat from the boiler. Also, the spa recently transitioned to B5 fuel, which includes 5 percent biodiesel.

Other steps include chemical-free cleaning systems, septic systems, enviromentally pool system, low-flow showerheads/toilets and electronic anti-bacterial methods.
