The Q Hotel + Spa offers an off-the-beaten path experience in the heart of the city
Billed as Kansas City’s first green hotel, the hotel was formerly the Quarterage Hotel. In 2007, it underwent a complete renovation, reopening as a premier eco-friendly lodging destination. The hotel’s “38 point 'Green' plan”--considered by some to be one of the most meticulous, eco-friendly policies in the hospitality industry--encompasses energy efficient electrical and water devices, in-room recycling and Green Seal approved cleaning products, for starters.

Taking Green Mainstream
Saint Charles, Missouri, March 5, 2008
Doug Gamble sees himself as a pretty mainstream American. Sure, he recycles at home and he's been on an anti-bottled water kick lately, but that's about it. He doesn't think of himself as a hardcore environmentalist by any means. Yet, as Managing Partner of the Q Hotel and Spa in Kansas City, Mo., Gamble has instituted some of the most-stringent green policies in the hospitality industry.

Sleep with good conscience at Kansas City's first green hotel
From Go Magazine
What was once the historic Quarterage Hotel has undergone a serious renovation to become Kansas City’s first green hotel. In this case, that means more than just asking patrons to use bed linens and towels more than once. Everything from the bathroom amenities (eco-friendly Aveda) to a hybrid-vehicle guest shuttle has been designed to benefit the Earth.
