The Fold Hotels Open Three Eco-Chic Properties
Travelers looking for stylish stays that tread lightly on the planet now have a fresh option: The Fold Hotels, a new brand from certified B Corporation andCo Hospitality, has opened three properties in Steamboat Springs, Colorado; Indian Shores, Florida; and Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Each hotel pairs locally inspired design with energy-efficient technology, upcycled furnishings and a lineup of community-driven experiences.
“The Fold is about proving that sustainability and style can coexist beautifully, and with plenty of personality,” says Alex Smith, president of andCo Hospitality. From the lobby to the guest rooms, reclaimed wood, vintage accents and artisanal decor create spaces that feel both contemporary and responsibly sourced, while renewable power systems and high-efficiency HVAC reflect the brand’s eco-commitment.
Smith adds that each hotel was “designed to feel like a true reflection of its community, all while making more responsible travel choices accessible and affordable. Because, much like a vacation, saving the planet should never be boring.” Rejecting the cookie-cutter approach, The Fold aims to become “your new favorite hangout” where local culture and thoughtful design spark joy and maybe even a little vacation envy back home.
In the Rocky Mountains, The Fold Steamboat Springs occupies a 60-room resort just steps from world-class skiing, hiking trails and natural hot springs. Its interiors channel the region’s adventurous spirit with upcycled lodge furnishings, cozy communal fire pits and a signature ‘Hot Box’ sauna. Guests can start their mornings with craft coffee and B Corp snacks before venturing into Steamboat’s arts and music scene or winding down by swapping stories over locally brewed beers.
Along Florida’s Gulf Coast, The Fold Indian Shores offers 32 rooms steps from powder-white sands and clear blue waters. Coastal charm abounds in the decor—think driftwood accents, tropical prints and ocean-inspired color palettes—while solar panels and energy-smart lighting systems keep the carbon footprint minimal. Nature lovers can borrow kayaks or paddleboards from the hotel and return to relax in hammocks strung among native landscaping.
In Orlando’s entertainment corridor, The Fold Lake Buena Vista provides 28 playful suites a short drive from the city’s famous theme parks. Here, smart room controls, electric vehicle charging stations and upcycled artwork set the scene, while community tables, game lounges and pop-up events create a welcoming atmosphere for families and solo adventurers alike. Local artists’ work lines the hallways, and eco-friendly minibars are stocked with sustainably sourced snacks.
Across all three hotels, guests can enjoy reusable water bottles and refill stations, cruelty-free bath amenities, and curated guides to nearby community experiences—whether that’s a farm-to-table dinner in Colorado, a beach cleanup in Florida, or a popup market featuring regional artisans. The Fold also partners with local businesses to offer volunteer opportunities and cultural excursions that deepen connections to each destination.
By marrying thoughtful environmental practices with fresh, location-driven design, The Fold Hotels carve out a new niche for conscientious travelers who refuse to choose between comfort and conservation. As guest preferences continue to shift toward responsible tourism, andCo Hospitality’s bold experiment shows that eco-friendly lodging can be as vibrant and memorable as the places it calls home.
