Hot Property: How do you like the view?

Arizona and Utah's remote Monument Valley, known for its rust-colored buttes, now has a touch of green thanks to the new 90-room, Navajo-owned View Hotel (monumentvalleyview.com, from $95). Located on the tribe's parkland, the building is low-impact, with a reflective roof for natural air-conditioning and low-flow plumbing. But make no mistake, guests come for the vistas of the Mittens buttes, which inspired the Navajos to settle here more than a millennium ago. —Adam H. Graham, from the March 2009 print edition of BT

Wow, that looks really stunning. So glad to see the trend of going green growing in vogue-ness, but I suspect it's almost requisite in a desert setting. And what a perfect opportunity for solar energy!
