Hornberger + Worstell’s design pays tribute to the great mountain lodges originally built in the west at the turn of the century. With a central, three-story-high granite fireplace, the Great Room captures the sophisticated yet rustic tenor of the building. The Ritz-Carlton is one of the first five-star resorts to achieve LEED Gold certification. Some of the environmentally friendly features include employing underground parking to avoid the heat island effect of outdoor asphalt lots, use of recycled steel, and energy efficient heating and cooling systems.
