Stowe Mountain Lodge, a Destination Hotels & Resorts property, was recently awarded the prestigious Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence. Stowe Mountain Lodge, the centerpiece of environmentally conscience Stowe Mountain Resort, was the only hotel to be recognized this year.

The Vermont Governor’s Awards were established in 1993 to recognize the actions taken by Vermonters to conserve and protect natural resources, prevent pollution, and promote environmental sustainability. The recipients of the coveted award significantly contribute to protecting the environment, conserving energy and reducing the production of greenhouse gases. The category of Environmental Stewardship and Resource Protection acknowledges projects with measurable and direct benefits to air, soil or water resources protecting ecosystems including those of fish, wildlife and human communities.
