Hotel Marcel - New Haven

Monday, Sept. 29 -- 10 a.m. - Noon

The Hotel Marcel in New Haven is the former Pirelli Tire building, designed by Marcel Breuer. Y’s Men and Westport architect, Bruce Becker, a green energy advocate, bought the building and launched it in May 2022 as the First Passive - Certified Hotel in the USA. 

The Marcel is 100 percent solar powered, enough to provide all its electricity, heat, and hot water -- even the stoves and ovens in the kitchen are electric -- while the building produces net zero emissions. 

It is a classic and a wonder to see and visit. We have arranged with Becker for a private tour of the hotel. They have an outstanding kitchen and restaurant so we can have lunch on site after the tour.  

We can meet at exit 18 on I-95 at 9 AM to arrange carpooling.

Or people can drive directly. The address is:

500 Sargent Drive, New Haven, CT 06511.

LUNCH

We start the tour at 10:00 and will be finished in time for lunch at the hotel restaurant.
