Cambria Hotels & Suites Recognized as Plano’s First LEED-Certified Hotel

Cambria Hotels & Suites Plano – Legacy was awarded a LEED Silver Rating by the U.S. Green Building Council on May 16, 2017. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification requires multiple criteria that address sustainability levels, including using less water and energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and becoming more resource efficient.

“Sustainability isn’t just a state of mind, it’s your lifestyle, it’s how you live and exude it, from the inside/out,” John Henry, General Manager of the Cambria Hotels & Suites Plano – Legacy. “As a team, it’s our primary focus, and is discussed in everything we do, day in, day out. Our goal is to educate every team member, guest, client, vendor, and to take it into the community.”

O’Reilly Hospitality Management, LLC – the parent company of Cambria Hotels & Suites – is headquartered in Springfield, MO and participates in many sustainability programs as part of their everyday commitment to leaving less of an environmental impact. These programs include:

• National Recycling Coalition
• Clean the World Campaign
• iStayGreen
• Aquanomic Laundry Program

The four-story, 129-room Cambria Hotels & Suites opened in March 2015 at 7500 Parkwood Blvd. Located just minutes from The Shops at Legacy and several of Plano’s Fortune 1000 companies, the Plano property is ideal for business travelers. The hotel includes more than 2,400 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art meeting and conference space plus a restaurant, free Wi-Fi, fitness center, and outdoor pool.

“It truly is an honor to receive this extraordinary distinction for the Plano property,” said Tim O’Reilly, CEO for O’Reilly Hospitality Management. “Choice Hotels has been a tremendous partner throughout the process of bringing this hotel to the area as well as in other cities, and provides all of the resources for us to be able to achieve an accomplishment like this.”

Cambria Hotel & Suites Plano – Legacy held a press conference on May 24, 2017 to reveal their accomplishments in hotel sustainability and efforts to a healthier environment for the city of Plano.
