For example, Saybrook Point Inn & Spa was one of the first lodging properties and marinas to participate in Connecticut's Green Lodging program. Energy Star-rated since 2007, it continues to lead the way with advanced techniques in energy management, water conservation and recycling throughout the property as well as environmentally friendly practices for the marina. Even its new Guest Houses turned “recycled” 1800s Victorians into models of energy efficiency and luxury. And an innovative heat recycling program keeps both indoor and outdoor salt water pools at the property heated and open all year round.
