Our global mission is to have all Accor hotels certified in the coming years. We are proud to support this vision with our local initiatives and hope to inspire more sustainability-led breakthroughs in 2024,” added Dayya.
Sofitel Mumbai BKC’s achievement is a significant step towards a greener future in the hospitality industry. It not only aligns with Accor’s global mission for sustainable transformation but also paves the way for other hotels in India and worldwide to follow suit.

Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the airport runway on one side and lush green mountains on the other. The property also features a wellness circle, complete with a swimming pool, a state-of-the-art gymnasium, and serene outdoor spaces, offering a perfect balance of relaxation and activity.
Elevating Kerala’s Global Appeal
CIAL Managing Director S Suhas commented, “Taj Cochin International Airport is yet another step forward in our vision to integrate world-class infrastructure and hospitality under one roof. With IHCL’s Taj brand on board, we are elevating Kerala’s prominence as a global destination for travelers while upholding our commitment to innovation and excellence.”
Strategic Addition to CIAL’s Portfolio
