The Imperial New Delhi partners with WWF-India to celebrate Earth Hour across the hotel on 27TH March 2021. Initiating #Speakupforsustainability and #Switchoff, the hotel is committed to provide a safe and healthy environment to the guests while continuing with the green practices.
The hotel restaurants– 1911 Restaurant, The Spice Route and San Gimignano, will observe ‘Dine Under the Stars’ from 8:30pm-9:30pm on this Saturday, offering outdoor candle-lit dining experience.
In addition, the Imperial flower team has put together an exclusive nature installation in the hotel lobby to depict the ever fascinating elements of the natural world. It beautifully highlights the need for ‘wildlife conservation’ showcasing birds and butterflies out of the cages, free to fly.
Vijay Wanchoo Sr. Executive VP and GM The Imperial New Delhi expressing his views on the occasion said “This Earth hour we “Speak up for Sustainability” with WWF India. The Imperial New Delhi is committed towards adopting environment-friendly practices to ensure that we function as a responsible organization. We believe in changing for a better tomorrow and it all starts with us. Carrying forward our efforts to recycle and reduce plastic usage, we are also minimizing water wastage and energy consumption across the hotel. Chosen for the GIFTTS Sustainability Award 2019 by Preferred Group, we are committed towards adopting best practices in order to be a responsible luxury, five-star hotel and do our bit in giving back to the planet. Our ‘I care program’ enables us to maintain a safe environment in our premises, in these tough times. So let’s stand in solidarity for the health of our planet – and inspire others to be part of it.
