Hampton Inn Hyde Park

Comfort Meets Performance

A 65,000 sq. ft. hotel along the Wasson Way Bike Trail, designed for high performance, guest comfort, and long-term operational efficiency

Problem

Hospitality projects are complex, with high energy and water demands, the need to deliver a comfortable, healthy environment for every guest, and the need to align with the company's wider brand and experience standards. For the Hampton Inn Hyde Park, the team faced the challenge of achieving LEED certification quickly while maintaining excellent indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and a welcoming guest experience.

With multiple disciplines involved—architecture, engineering, and construction—close coordination was critical to keep the project on schedule, avoid costly redesigns, and ensure sustainability goals were met at every stage of design and construction.

Solution

Streamlined design process

Through early design charrettes and energy modeling, Sol helped to get early alignment across the project team. We followed this up with clear documentation, targeted analysis, and proactive coordination to ensure the certification process was as seamless as possible.

Improved energy & water performance

We prioritized strategies that would deliver long-term operational savings to the owner. These included an optimized envelope, high-efficiency mechanical systems, and water-efficient fixtures. Enhanced envelope and HVAC commissioning ensured the owner received what was designed.

Prioritized occupant experience

We also prioritized strategies that would enhance the guest experience. These included enhanced indoor air quality measures, low-emitting materials, thermal comfort controls, quality views, and access to transit and bike amenities.
