<a href="http://www.h2hotel.com/" target="_blank">H2hotel</a> is a super hip boutique hotel that does more than just serve up the best of the area's vino. Green to the core, the hotel in downtown Healdsburg, Sonoma County, CA features an <a href="http://inhabitat.com/chinese-software-companys-undulating-campus-of-grass-and-glass/">undulating green roof</a> and plenty of energy efficient strategies with the goal of LEED Gold certification. The hotel, designed by <a href="http://inhabitat.com/leed-gold-community-springs-up-in-hunters-point-sf/" target="_blank">David Baker + Partners</a>, refurbishes a site that used to be a gas station and has also worked to rehabilitate a creek running behind the property. Eco art installations, super stylish decor and organic eats round out the hotel for a delightful treat.

The hotel's site, which was formerly a defunct gas station, is now a vibrant space in the downtown area with an engaging ground floor that draws in more than just hotel guests.

Registered for LEED Gold certification, the hotel is an eco delight in Sonoma County.

The backside of the hotel enjoys views onto the rehabilitated Foss Creek and has a small pool for guests.

Laser cut corteen steel balconies decorate the outside of the hotel.

An outdoor staircase covered in wood slats minimizes energy use.

The green roof collects rainwater and processes it so minimize runoff into the nearby creek.

Inside solar gain is managed by wooden horizontal louvers.

Guests are encouraged to take the cruiser bikes for a spin around town and try as much of the local and organic dishes from the restaurant as they can

Accordian-style glass doors open the hotel's restaurant, SpoonBar!, up to the street level and art installations inside highlight original art from Bay Area artists.

Spoonfall, an eco art installation by Ned Kahn, sits outside the restaurant and is made of a screen filled with espresso spoons and rainwater captured from the green roof powers the waterfall.

Rooms are outfitted with bamboo flooring, organic linens, and recycled materials as well as a low VOC environment.

The hotel's lobby is richly decorated with works from Bay Area artists.
