The Inn at North Arizona University (NAU) is a charming, small, environmentally progressive hotel located on the campus of NAU in Flagstaff.
The Inn serves as a "living laboratory" for the school's students in the Hotel and Restaurant Management program. Although the Inn has a full time management team, the facility is staffed and operated by students as part of their course assignments.
The 19 room hotel houses a restaurant, bar and small meeting room, and features a six course gourmet meal on Friday evenings, prepared and served by NAU students under the direction of Executive Chef Don Carlson.
Offering all non smoking guestrooms, the Inn highlights two "green rooms" that provide a guest environment with reduced allergens and eco conscious amenities. Each green room features an environmental air system designed to reduce dust and other airborne irritants. The rooms include refillable bathroom amenities, are cleaned with "green" cleansers. Throughout the hotel, the housekeeping staff recycles paper, plastics, glass and aluminum via the university's recycling program. In the Inn's kitchen, organic grease is recycled for agricultural and manufacturing uses. The Inn also is piloting a composting program on campus, which will create mulch and fertilizer for the campus landscape.
