The TownePlace Suites is undergoing comprehensive renovation scheme designed to earn LEED status. It includes composting all breakfast waste to achieve zero waste, using sustainable and environmentally friendly cleaning products, replacing plumbing hardware with low-flow devices and purchasing renewable energy wind credits to offset the hotel’s carbon footprint.

The TownePlace Suites property will be BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport’s first LEED certified hotel. The hotel has also achieved the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Rating, the first step in LEED certification.

The smoke-free all-suite hotel offers three spacious floor plans with separate living and sleeping areas. Each suite features a kitchen with granite countertops and full-sized appliances. Guest rooms feature luxury bedding, a 32 LCD flat-panel HDTV and home office.
