Venue: The National Design Awards for the Society of American Registered Architects will be held at Hotel Marcel, an award-winning, net-zero carbon hotel located in New Haven, Connecticut. Hotel Marcel brilliantly repurposes the iconic Brutalist-style Pirelli Tire Building, designed by famed architect Marcel Breuer in 1967, and provides a truly inspiring setting to honor architectural excellence.

LEED Platinum-certified, Hotel Marcel is the nation’s first Passive House-certified hotel, as well as the nation’s first zero-emission hotel. We are especially proud to celebrate this venue knowing that the renovation of this historic hotel was led by the firm of Bruce Becker, a SARA member, whose work helped bring new life to an architectural landmark while preserving its remarkable legacy.

Don’t miss your chance to experience this extraordinary venue while celebrating the best in design. Get your tickets now!
