Hilton Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park is celebrating its third anniversary with a heartfelt sustainability initiative: for every room booked during May 2025, a tree will be planted in the guest’s name. This thoughtful program is being carried out in collaboration with SayTrees Environmental Trust, reinforcing the hotel’s ongoing commitment to the environment and community well-being.

More than a symbolic act, the initiative ensures real impact. Each tree planted will be geotagged, maintained by a local farmer, and visible to the guest through a digital dashboard. With a survival rate of over 90%, these trees not only offset carbon but also support rural livelihoods and promote long-term ecological growth.

“Our third anniversary is not just a celebration — it’s a reaffirmation of our values,” said Mr. Manish Garg, General Manager, Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park.
“This year, we wanted to create something lasting. Planting a tree for every booking is our way of saying thank you — to our guests, to our community, and to the planet we all share.”

The hotel’s broader sustainability efforts are already well recognized. From heating 15,000 liters of water daily through solar energy to replacing 2,500 plastic bottles with in-house glass bottling and eliminating single-use plastics in guest rooms, Hilton Bengaluru Manyata is paving the way in responsible hospitality. Refillable amenities and eco-friendly mugs further reflect its mindful approach to environmental stewardship.

Since opening in 2022, the hotel has emerged as a leading business and MICE destination in North Bengaluru, offering nearly 60,000 sq. ft. of event space across 22 modern venues. Its location within the Embassy Manyata Business Park and just 30 minutes from Kempegowda International Airport makes it ideal for both international and domestic travelers.

With a dual-brand setup housing both Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn under one roof, the hotel combines convenience, luxury, and sustainability. Guests also enjoy easy access to Bengaluru’s top entertainment, dining, and shopping spots—making it a complete lifestyle destination.

By choosing to plant a tree for every stay, Hilton Bengaluru Manyata is turning hospitality into a movement—one that contributes to a greener India, one guest at a time.
