Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts is redefining eco-conscious hospitality by embedding sustainability into every aspect of its operations. The brand is committed to creating a greener future while delivering luxurious and memorable guest experiences.
A major pillar of its green initiatives is the removal of single-use plastics. Guests are welcomed with eco-friendly alternatives, such as glass water bottles, cloth bags, and toiletries in biodegradable packaging. These thoughtful changes reduce waste and promote a responsible stay.
The group’s eco-friendly construction approach includes cottages built with responsibly sourced wood and other locally procured materials, helping to lower transportation emissions and support the regional economy. Designs emphasize natural ventilation and energy-efficient structures, minimizing environmental impact while maintaining comfort and elegance.
Across its properties, Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts prioritizes waste management. Segregation bins for plastic, paper, glass, and organic waste are available throughout the resorts, and both staff and guests are actively engaged in recycling efforts through regular awareness programs.
Food waste reduction is another key focus. Surplus from major events is donated to local charities, and portion sizes are carefully optimized to avoid unnecessary waste while maintaining high culinary standards.
“Caring for the environment is no longer an option but a responsibility,” said Shikhar Kumar, Managing Director of Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts. “Our commitment to eco-friendly hospitality is driven by the belief that luxury and sustainability can coexist.”
Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts continues to set an example in responsible tourism by integrating sustainable practices at its core. Through innovation and a strong focus on waste reduction, the brand is shaping a greener hospitality industry in India while offering world-class services.

India's entertainment scene just got a luxurious upgrade with the launch of "The Vegas Show" at Della Resorts, the country’s most iconic getaway for entertainment and celebration. Designed to offer a high-voltage experience like no other, this show blends glam, drama, and global artistry in one unforgettable evening.
Running Wednesday through Sunday, The Vegas Show lights up the resort with an ensemble of over 20 performers from international dancers and stilt walkers to fire acts, singers, and acrobats. Every night becomes a spectacle of sights and sounds, perfectly curated to celebrate any occasion, be it a birthday, anniversary, or just a fun evening with friends and family.
While the show takes the spotlight, Cafe 24, Della’s round-the-clock fine-dining destination, ensures guests are just as wowed by the flavours as they are by the flames. Their menu is a celebration of Indian, Asian, and Continental cuisines, dished out with finesse by expert chefs. And if you’re in the mood for a drink, the in-house mixologists craft signature cocktails that pair beautifully with the energy of the night.
What makes this show truly immersive is its production valueset beside a shimmering pool, the entire space comes alive with fire elements, smoke effects, dramatic lighting, and themed decor. Every act is styled with precision, from wardrobe to light cues to keep guests hooked from the first beat to the final bow.
The Vegas Show isn’t just a one-time thrill. Seasonal themes keep the excitement alive throughout the year, think Diwali light displays, Christmas magic, and other festive twists that make each visit fresh and exciting.
And when the night winds down? It only ramps up again! The poolside scene turns into a high-energy party zone, think Ibiza vibes meets Las Vegas sparkle. From belly dancing and mime performances to aerial stunts and fire dancing, the night pulses with jaw-dropping entertainment.

In a world that's evolving at the speed of technology where automation and digital convenience often dominate the hospitality industry stands out as a rare constant — a people-first profession rooted in connection warmth and genuine care As we celebrate International Hospitality Day it's important to reflect on why hospitality still matters and how it continues to shape lives and experiences across the globe
At its core hospitality is more than service it's about creating moments that last Whether it's a hotel receptionist remembering your name a chef crafting a dish with regional soul or a housekeeper ensuring your room feels like home every interaction is driven by people who care These human touches transform places into memories and transactions into relationships
Despite global challenges and the rise of digital interfaces the industry has shown remarkable resilience and innovation Today hospitality is about balancing technology with empathy Smart rooms contactless check-ins and AI-driven personalization are enhancing guest convenience but what truly elevates the experience is still the passion of the people behind the scenes
From boutique hotels to luxury resorts the focus has shifted to purpose-driven hospitality emphasizing sustainability community engagement and employee well-being Guests today are more conscious and curious they seek not just comfort but connection They want to know the story behind the space the chef behind the plate and the culture behind the smile
Hospitality is ultimately about people It's our teams our culture and our passion that define the guest experience As an industry we must continue to value the human element because no technology can replicate genuine warmth and heartfelt service
Celebrating International Hospitality Day is not just about acknowledging an industry it's about honouring the spirit that drives it It's about the chefs stewards receptionists managers and countless others who make the world a little more welcoming every single day
As we look ahead one thing is clear hospitality will always matter Because in every corner of the world people will always crave connection kindness and the comfort of being cared for and that's something only hospitality can truly deliver
