SUSTAINABILITY FOCUSED

All-Electric Hotel

SUSTAINABILITY FOCUSED

Our carports and vast roof are covered with over 1000 photovoltaic panels that generate solar power for our own microgrid. A Power-over-Ethernet lighting system and one megawatt hour of battery storage keep all operations running smoothly.  

Additionally, the hotel boasts 12 Tesla Superchargers as well as 12 level-two destination universal EV chargers to power-up our guests' electric cars.

BRUTALIST DESIGN

Iconic Stature

BRUTALIST DESIGN

Aligned with the craft-meets-utility ethos of The Bauhaus, Hungarian-born architect Marcel Breuer experimented with new advances in technology and building materials to create an architectural framework that seems to defy gravity. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel's concrete stature has become iconic. 

Where modern meets history

Where modern meets history

Our historic suites retain original mid-century character with meticulously restored finishes, repurposed 1960's light fixtures, and custom furnishings evoking Breuer's pioneering work with The Bauhaus.

The hotel brings modern day experiences to guests through streamlined coworking tables, reimagined historic architectural lighting, Bauhaus-inspired patterned area rugs, and original textile and graphic print artworks.

STORIED BEGINNINGS

Our History

STORIED BEGINNINGS

The roots of our iconic building began with the Armstrong Rubber Company, one of America's premier tire production companies, founded in West Haven in 1912. Today the building is a landmark of the striking design and architecture of the era.
