The Hostal Spa Empuries is [located in L’Escala, Spain](https://www.booking.com/hotel/es/hostal-empuries.html)
and is in a restored [building](http://hostalempuries.com/), yet overlooking the
Mediterranean. Not only is this hotel the first in Europe with LEED Gold Certification.
Yet the Hostal Spa Empuries also promotes the “[Cradle to Cradle](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/12/most-sustainable-office-in-the-world-based-in-the-netherlands/)”
Principle (“C2C”).

That’s meaning it aims to use materials which are [sustainable](https://greenlivingguy.com/2017/07/fashion-for-good-launches-in-partnership-with-mcdonough-innovation/)
and host a useful life past their original intention. In addition, the hotel produces
approximately 1/3 of the energy they consume. So all the hotel’s electricity is 
obtained from renewable resources.

As we know, the interest in eco-tourism and ‘green’ travel on the rise. So more 
and more hotels are working hard to achieve eco-friendly certifications. That’s 
helping the appeal of the growing traveler interest. Also I love the [electric vehicle charging stations](http://hostal-spa-empuries.hotelscostabrava.net/en/)
installed too.

Why do I like [electric vehicle charging](https://greenlivingguy.com/2006/08/tesla-roadster-unveiled-in-santa-monica/)
stations installed there? Because people with Tesla’s or Plugin hybrid BMW or Audi
can come through and charge up!  They will come like in the movie Field of Dreams
Built it and they will come!

According to [TreeHugger.com](https://www.treehugger.com/green-architecture/hostal-empuries-more-just-first-hotel-europe-leed-gold-certification-photos.html)
this is a gorgeous LEED gold certified hotel. For it is also located in the perfect
spot to relax for a few days. Also even to go and work from. Because you’re right
on the beach of red L’Escala and North of [Barcelona.](https://www.treehugger.com/tag/barcelona/)
So they love the Hostal Spa Empuries.

Finally, the Hotel [Spa](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/09/what-to-expect-at-an-eco-spa-day/)
Empuries is near the Greek and Roman ruins and amongst pine trees. So this building
from 1907 has undergone a recent renovation. Yet it is now one of the most eco-friendly
hotels “I have ever come across”. Yet at the same time one of the most beautiful!
