oregon’s eco-friendly luxury resort

leed gold certified

The Allison was awarded the prestigious LEED Gold Certification less than a year after opening in the fall of 2009. We are pleased to be acknowledged as an Eco-friendly resort committed to achieving this ‘green seal’ with respect to building practices and sustainable ongoing operations.

key “green” features at our resort include:

Solar Hot Water

Photo Voltaic Cells (generating 7% electricity)

No Use of Plastic Bottles

Sedum ‘Green Eco-Roofing’ on the West Wing

Located within the urban limits of the town, the development of The Allison Inn & Spa did not encroach upon environmentally sensitive agricultural lands. The importing of mature trees and gardens resulted in a net agricultural gain – significantly more trees and vegetation brought onto the property than displaced by construction.

Behind the scenes, our operations are ever dedicated to the same principles. With waste and recycling management, Eco-friendly cleaning and laundry practices, and locally sourced culinary programs, we take a tireless approach to environmental stewardship, yet our standards for comfort and guest experience are never compromised. We pride ourselves in being a pioneer in Eco-friendly luxury.
