Historically Green: The Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa on MSNBC

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

I recently overheard a fabulous conversation in which a writer was inquiring with one of the interior designers of The Stoneleigh as to any aspects that made the hotel “green”. Instead of the usual answer encompassing various conservation policies or recycled items/programs within the hotel, the designer elequently noted ”The entire Stoneleigh Project as a whole is  green, as the owners and investors opted to preserve and enhance the existing structure instead of dismantling the hotel and hauling it off”.

The Stoneleigh Project speaks not only to the ever growing ecological conern we see crisscrossing the news daily,  but it also harps upon the spectacular sense of history and culture not easily duplicated in hotels today.

The Stoneleigh’s new luminescent red THE rests proudly atop the  hotel as a welcome beacon to all of Dallas. Managing Director, John Langston, recently gave a behind the scenes tour of The Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa to News 8 WFAA “Why Guy”, Mike Castellucci. Mike’s tour was replete with secret passageways (tucked away in the illustrious Penthouse) as well as an up close and personal look at the original THE sign now showcased next to the Chef’s Table in Bolla. The segment aired for the first time Wednesday evening on the 5pm news.
