Where We Are Going

Going Green

3H Group Hotels has established a policy of implementing "green-friendly" methods of operating our hotels.  This includes how we develop and build our hotels to the ways we manage them on a day-to-day basis.  3H has executed many "green" initiatives at both the property and corporate level as part of the tremendous effort to go green and reduce carbon emissions.  The future Springhill Suites is slated to be LEED certified.  The project is under-construction and is currently tracking a LEED Silver Certification. LEED- an acronym for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design"- is a rating system which sets buildings constructed in an environmentally conscious way apart in 5 key categories: the use of a sustainable site, water efficiency, materials and resources, energy usage, and indoor air quality.  Our other hotels recycle soap, reuse linen, recycle plastics, and use environmentally friendly laundry detergent.  In addition, a majority of our Chattanooga hotels are part of the Chattanooga Green Lodging Certification Program. 

In September 2011, our Residence Inn by Marriott and Conference Center added two Level 2 Blink EV Charging Stations, which are complimentary for use to our hotel guests.  The stations are part of the EV Project's implemented by ECOtality, a leader in electric transportation.  The EV Projects is a public/private  partnership funded in part by the Department of Energy, and is aimed at reducing the use of fossil fuels.  The EV Stations at Residence Inn are only two of 14,000 Level 2 Stations across 18 cities in the U.S.  The Charging Stations recharge vehicles in approximately 4-6 hours and are a great, cost effective way to reduce carbon emissions.

Our Florida properties are also "Green-Certified" by the state, and have earned their palm.  The Florida Green Lodging Program is a voluntary initiative of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that designates and recognizes lodging facilities that make a commitment to conserve and protect Florida's natural resources.  The program's environmental guidelines allow the hospitality industry to evaluate its operations, set goals and take specific actions to continuously improve environmental performance.

Growth and Development

Since 2000 3H Group has been offering top-of-the-line hotel development. 3H's experience extends to lodging construction, ground up development, and product design.  We currently own and operate 14 properties across the Southeastern United States.  In 2011, 3H broke ground on soon to be the newest addition to the 3H family, a Springhill Suites by Marriott at Cameron Harbor in Chattanooga, TN.  Adjacent to the Tennessee River, this 116-room all suite hotel will be the first riverfront property in the Chattanooga area offering deluxe accommodations and picturesque views.
