Hotel rooms have the advantage of abundant energy light with efficient windows that measuring 7.4 square meters.

The hotel has a restaurant with a vegetable roof to reduce the "urban heat effect". In other words, roof reflects heat, and thereby reducing the amount of energy used for cooling food and / or energy used for air conditioning.

The hotel used materials construction with recyclable containing. During construction have changed the course of water along a 700 meters reducing erosion and planting adaptable plant species.
