A closer look at Proximity Hotel
A 147 room hotel in Greensboro, North Carolina, run by Quaintance-Weaver Restaurants and Hotels. It was certified LEED Platinum for new construction with 55 points, and much of what is published about the building comes from the U.S. Green Building Council project page. Guest rooms have three extra large windows that open, and the project page records a direct line of sight outdoors from more than 97 percent of regularly occupied spaces. There is a fitness studio, and accessible rooms are listed.

Guest room shelving is walnut veneer over SkyBlend, a particleboard made from post-industrial recycled wood pulp with no added formaldehyde. Paints, adhesives and carpets are described as low emitting, with no product or standard named. Sheets and pillowcases are Egyptian combed cotton woven in Italy, with no textile certification named. The bistro bar is salvaged solid walnut and room service trays are bamboo plywood. About 700 linear feet of the adjacent stream was restored during the build with local plant species.

Adjoining guest rooms are separated by double walls for soundproofing, with no acoustic rating or measured level published. Lighting in the bed and bathing rooms is dimmable, and the Loft King Center Room lists blackout curtains, with no colour temperature or opacity specification. Rooms list both WiFi and wired internet access, with nothing published on access point placement or on switching wireless off.
What this property publishes, area by area
All eight areas, for every record. Each row opens to what was published, where we read it and when.
Publishing something is not the same as it being good. Every line below was read and placed by a person, not scored by a machine. What each rung means
Named means the property published something you can look up: a brand, a product or a number. Stated means it says so with nothing behind it. Not published means we looked and found nothing, which is a gap in our reading and not an answer about the building.
Air Ecology2 source notesPublished or supplied
The air in a closed room is what you breathe for eight hours. What decides it is the filter grade, the fresh air rate, and whether damp has ever been looked for.
Outside air supply to guest rooms is published as a rate. The hotel states over 40 cubic feet per minute continuously; the USGBC project page recorded 60 cubic feet per minute at certification in 2008, tempered by energy recovery against exhaust air. The two are consistent, the lower figure being a floor. The air is described as triple filtered with no grade published.
Published by U.S. Green Building Council, read 6 Aug 2026.
Air quality is improved by circulating large amounts of outside air into guestrooms (60 cubic feet per minute) by employing "energy recovery" technology where the outside air is tempered by the air being exhausted.
The hotel publishes its own current figure for the same supply, stated as continuous.
Extraordinary indoor air quality because we put over 40 cubic feet per minute of triple filtered outside air into each guestroom 24/7/365
What to ask them
What filter grade is fitted to guest room air handling, for example MERV 13 or HEPA H13?
What is the fresh air supply rate per person in a guest room?
Are carbon dioxide, particulate or volatile organic compound levels measured, and are the readings published?
Is there a mould inspection and remediation protocol, and when was it last run?
Are there gas cooktops, fireplaces or other combustion sources inside guest rooms?
Water IntegrityNo evidence recordedNothing found yet
You drink it, cook with it and stand under it. What is in it depends on the source and on what, if anything, filters it, and both are things a property can name.
We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.
What to ask them
What is the water source, and what treatment is applied before it reaches a guest room?
Is there a published contaminant test panel, and which laboratory ran it?
Is shower and bath water filtered, and to what specification?
How are pools and spas sanitised, and is the chemistry published?
How is drinking water delivered, and is it treated on site?
Light Rhythm2 source notesPublished or supplied
Light is what tells a body the time of day. The part a building controls is what its fittings emit and when, which a named product or a colour temperature makes checkable.
The Loft King Center Room feature list includes blackout curtains, with no material or opacity specification.
The amenities page states that lighting in the sleeping and bathing rooms is dimmable, with no colour temperature, flicker or control specification published.
Is guest room lighting tunable or circadian, and what specification is published?
What colour temperatures are used in the evening, and are fixtures flicker free?
Do sleeping areas have full blackout, and is it specified?
What daylight access does a typical room have?
Is exterior lighting shielded or reduced overnight?
EMF Harmony1 source notePublished or supplied
Wiring, routers and devices put electromagnetic fields in a room. What a building decides is where they sit relative to the bed, and whether anyone has measured it.
The guest room page lists both complimentary high speed WiFi and wired Internet access in the room, with no detail on access point placement, cabling or the option to disable wireless.
Complimentary high-speed WiFi and wired Internet access
What to ask them
Are guest rooms wired for data, or is access wireless only?
Where are wireless access points and smart meters placed relative to the bed?
Have field levels been measured in sleeping areas, and by whom?
Can a guest have wireless disabled in their room on request?
Is any shielded cabling or shielding material specified in the build?
Materials and Textiles3 source notesPublished or supplied
The things you sleep on and touch: the mattress, the sheets, the pillows, and the paints, glues and finishes around them. A named fabric, a fibre content or a certification can be looked up. A structural palette tells you about the building, not about the bed.
Guestroom shelving is published as walnut veneer over SkyBlend particleboard, a named substrate described as containing no added formaldehyde.
Published by U.S. Green Building Council, read 6 Aug 2026.
Guestroom shelving are made of walnut veneer over a substrate of SkyBlend, a particleboard made from 100 percent post-industrial recycled wood pulp with no added formaldehyde.
Bed linen fibre content is published as Egyptian combed cotton woven in Italy, with a fiberfill blanket, and no textile certification is named.
Low-emitting organic compound paints, adhesives, carpets, etc. reduce indoor air contamination.
What to ask them
What are the mattresses made of, and are they treated with flame retardants?
What is the fibre content of the linen, and is it certified, for example to GOTS or OEKO TEX?
Which paints, adhesives and sealants were specified, and are they low emission?
What cleaning and laundry products are used, and is the list published?
Are there named low emission certifications on the flooring or joinery?
Food and Kitchen2 source notesPublished or supplied
What a kitchen cooks with and where it buys are the parts of a stay you take inside you. A named oil, a named supplier or a published share is checkable; “healthy” is not.
The hotel's dining page states that the adjacent Print Works Bistro uses local ingredients, with no suppliers named and no share of sourcing given.
Print Works Bistro uses fresh local ingredients to create extraordinary flavors and creative comfort foods.
The operator's Sustainable Practices Initiative states an intention to buy more food from local farmers, food makers and vendors, with no verification method published.
Published by Quaintance-Weaver Restaurants & Hotels, read 6 Aug 2026. It covers the operator or the group, not this property on its own.
Buying even more food from local farmers, food makers and vendors.
What to ask them
What share of produce is grown on site or sourced locally, and is it verified?
Which cooking oils are used, and is the policy published?
What cookware is used in the kitchen?
Is kitchen and ice water filtered, and to what specification?
Is there a published position on additives, preservatives or allergens?
Biophilic and Healing Design4 source notesPublished or supplied
Daylight, planting, outlook and the way a room meets the outside are what make a place feel the way it does. Named design decisions can be checked; atmosphere cannot.
The USGBC project page records a direct line of sight to the outdoors from more than 97 percent of all regularly occupied spaces, and operable guest room windows of 7 feet 4 inches square.
Published by U.S. Green Building Council, read 6 Aug 2026.
Abundant natural lighting, including large energy-efficient "operable" windows (7 feet and 4 inch square windows in guest rooms), connects guests to the outdoors by achieving a direct line of sight to the outdoor environment for more than 97 percent of all regularly occupied spaces.
Guest rooms are published as having three extra large windows that open, giving an operable connection to outside air and outlook.
Abundant natural light from three extra-large windows that actually open
The build included restoration of approximately 700 linear feet of the adjacent stream using local, adaptable plant species and rebuilt banks and buffers, with no species palette published.
Published by U.S. Green Building Council, read 6 Aug 2026.
Approximately 700 linear feet of stream was restored by reducing erosion, planting local, adaptable plant species and rebuilding the buffers and banks.
Named natural materials are published for surfaces guests touch, including a bar of salvaged solid walnut, bamboo plywood room service trays and walnut veneer guestroom shelving.
Published by U.S. Green Building Council, read 6 Aug 2026.
The bistro bar is made of salvaged, solid walnut trees. Room service trays are made of bamboo plywood.
What to ask them
Does every guest room have direct outdoor access or an operable opening?
What is the published design intent behind the natural materials used?
What are the typical ceiling heights and room volumes?
Was the landscape designed with native planting, and is the palette published?
Sound and Sensory Ecology1 source notePublished or supplied
What you can hear at three in the morning decides whether you slept. Insulation, plant and machinery, and what sits next door are what decide it.
The amenities page states that adjoining guestrooms are separated by double walls for soundproofing, with no acoustic rating or measured level published.
What is the measured background noise level in a guest room at night?
What acoustic separation is specified between adjoining keys?
How loud is the guest room air conditioning at its lowest setting?
Is fragrance diffused into guest rooms or public areas, and can it be declined?
Not everything is published, and an empty row is a gap in what we could read rather than a fault in the building. If one of these matters to you, ask the property before you book. Send us something that updates this record

A low score means a property has not published information. It does not mean the property is unsafe, unhealthy or poorly run.
These scores describe disclosure, not property quality. Listings are free, and any commercial relationship is disclosed.
Regional data is context about the location. It does not establish conditions inside a room.
Safely managed drinking water, USA · 2024The World Health Organization reports 98 per cent of the population nationally, 98 per cent in urban areas using a safely managed drinking water service. This describes the country, not this property, and says nothing about what reaches a guest room here. It is recorded because it is the background against which a property's own treatment is worth publishing.World Health Organization
