Radisson Blu, Bengaluru, Outer Ring Road (ORR) has earned the esteemed LEED V4.1 Platinum certification from the US Green Building Council for its commitment to sustainability in operations and maintenance, making it a trailblazer in eco-friendly hospitality in India. This certification highlights the hotel’s extensive environmental initiatives aimed at minimizing its carbon footprint.
Fully powered by green energy from its own solar plant, the hotel operates as a net-zero energy building. Its commitment to reducing carbon emissions extends to its electric vehicle (EV) fleet for guest transportation, with EVs charged on-site through solar power. Further embracing sustainability, the hotel has established an on-site biogas plant that converts organic waste into biogas, supplying its staff canteen and producing organic fertilizer for the property’s gardens, thus achieving a zero-waste organic cycle.
To reduce plastic use, Radisson Blu Bengaluru ORR has implemented an in-house water bottling system, supplying reusable glass bottles across guest rooms, dining venues, and event spaces—eliminating over a tonne of plastic waste annually. Water conservation is further enhanced by a comprehensive rainwater capture and filtration system, which redirects rainwater for domestic use. The hotel’s laundry water undergoes a rigorous treatment and recycling process, including Effluent Treatment and Reverse Osmosis, ensuring 100% water circularity.
Austin Roach, Chairman of Radisson Blu Bengaluru Outer Ring Road, remarked, “Sustainability is a way of life here. For over a decade, our commitment to environmental stewardship has remained steadfast. This LEED Platinum certification is both an honor and a motivation to continue creating positive change.”
Inge Huijbrechts, Chief Sustainability and Security Officer of Radisson Hotel Group, acknowledged the hotel’s achievement, stating, “Attaining the LEED V4.1 Platinum certification reflects our commitment to net-zero goals and showcases that sustainability benefits both the planet and business. Radisson Blu Bengaluru ORR sets a high standard for sustainable practices in hospitality, showing that existing hotels can indeed achieve environmental excellence.”
This certification marks a key milestone for Radisson Hotel Group as it continues to set sustainability benchmarks globally, further reinforcing its dedication to eco-conscious hospitality.

Della Resorts & Adventure has unveiled its Christmas Festive Package for 2025, bringing the holiday season alive in a way that feels warm, thoughtful and pleasantly personal. The package offers a two-night stay, available for either 24–25 or 25–26 December, giving guests a simple but memorable festive escape.
The experience is designed around meaningful moments rather than extravagance, a stay that feels slow and unhurried, mornings that ease into a relaxed breakfast and an Adventure Day Pass that brings a playful spirit to the holiday. Guests can enjoy The Vegas Noelat, the resort’s annual Christmas production, and begin their evening at Café 24 with festive cocktails or mocktails that set the mood just right.
A Christmas Brunch becomes the highlight of the day, and every guest leaves with a traditional pudding, a nostalgic touch that adds to the charm of the celebration.
Children have their own world of December cheer with gingerbread decorating, a Santa Meet-and-Greet and curated activities designed just for them. For adults, the experience sits between a refreshing getaway and a soft festive reset, celebratory without being loud, joyful without being predictable.
The package is ideal for anyone wanting to step away from the city’s usual December rush and spend the holiday in a setting that feels warm, relaxed and a little extra special.

The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel, Delhi has welcomed the festive season with a thoughtful and inspiring showcase that reflects the brand’s long-standing commitment to sustainability. This year, the hotel introduced ‘The Tree of Hope’, a creative installation that blends conscious luxury with innovative design.
At The Leela, sustainability isn’t just a practice, it is woven into the guest experience, operations and community engagement. This philosophy shines through in the hotel’s festive décor for 2025.
The highlight of the celebrations is the impressive 80-ft façade Christmas tree, created using repurposed waste pipes and wires. Standing tall at the hotel’s exterior, the installation shows how everyday materials can be transformed into something elegant and meaningful through mindful design.
Inside the hotel, the centrepiece installation, The Tree of Hope, takes the concept further. Designed and built by the hotel’s in-house Engineering team, the structure uses reclaimed floorboards sourced from within the property. Each element reflects the hotel’s 15-year legacy, celebrating its journey while symbolising renewal and resilience.
Adding a personal and community-driven touch, all the festive ornaments have been handcrafted by local artisans. This collaboration brings authenticity to the décor and reinforces the hotel’s commitment to supporting local talent and promoting responsible sourcing.
Speaking about the initiative, Harkaran Singh, General Manager, said, “At #ThePrimeAddressofEastDelhi, we believe celebration must go beyond aesthetics to create impact. Our festive installations reflect our dedication to sustainable luxury, innovation and community engagement. Through these conscious creations, we hope to inspire our guests to celebrate with purpose and mindfulness.”
More than festive décor, these installations tell a powerful story of sustainability and creativity coming together. Guests are invited to see the season not only through its lights and colours, but through the values it represents, responsibility, innovation and care for the environment.
With The Tree of Hope, The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel continues to set new standards in conscious hospitality, redefining how luxury hotels can celebrate the festive season with purpose and vision.
