A link in the eco-friendly hotel chain, which promotes environmentalism through use of multi-purpose public and modular furniture pieces in the guest rooms, the property is scheduled to open in fall of 2010.
Owned by JBG Urban LLC, Element Hotel Tysons Corner will offer 173 rooms with complete kitchenettes. The hotel's key green features include energy-efficient appliances and lighting, water-saving plumbing and waste recycling. Element hotels also use low-emission paints and recycled carpet.
