The Embassy Suites "Green E" gets "greener," in Orlando! Embassy Suites Orlando North, Embassy Suites Orlando Airport, and Embassy Suits Orlando International Drive/Convention Center celebrated their properties' designation as Florida Green Lodge hotels this week. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection gives the designation. Embassy Suites properties mark the 48th, 49th, and 50th in the state of Florida. Starting January 1, 2008, all state agencies and departments will be required to hold meetings and conferences only at hotels with the Florida Green lodging designation.
