The Leela Ambience Gurugram Hotel & Residences has been awarded two prestigious Platinum Certifications by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)—IGBC’s Green Existing Building and IGBC Net Zero Waste to Landfill.
This dual recognition is a reflection of the hotel’s long-standing commitment to embedding sustainability into the very fabric of its operations. From thoughtful resource management to responsible waste practices, every aspect of the hotel’s functioning is designed to minimise environmental impact while upholding the highest standards of guest experience.
Redefining Responsible Luxury
In a powerful step towards responsible luxury, The Leela Ambience Gurugram Hotel & Residences has reimagined sustainability across all dimensions of its operations. From the elegance of the front-of-house, streamlined back-end systems to upgraded guest areas and eco-conscious in-room amenities, every element has been elevated with purpose. The hotel’s approach is rooted in the belief that each operational detail, however small, must contribute meaningfully to a future that is not only luxurious but also enduringly sustainable.
Precision Energy and Waste Management
Energy at the hotel is managed with deliberate precision. Guest rooms are equipped with energy-saver keycards, while motion-sensor LED lighting, daylight-optimised architecture, energy-efficient air handling units, and PNG-operated kitchens all contribute to reduced emissions. Dual-fuel DG sets further lower the carbon footprint. In addition, the hotel has transitioned to a fully paperless workflow, from check-in to invoicing, and has entirely eliminated the use of single-use plastic across operations.
Sustainable Mobility and Zero-Emission Travel
The hotel has elevated sustainable mobility through a fleet of luxury electric vehicles, including the BMW iX and flagship BMW i7. Supported by in-house EV charging stations, these transfers offer refined travel with a lighter environmental impact.
Farm to Fork Philosophy in Action
At the heart of this vision is the Farm to Fork philosophy, brought to life through The Leela Farm; a 3.5-acre organic farm; and The Green House, an on-site hydroponic garden. Together, they supply fresh, organic produce for the hotel’s wellness-driven menus, including Aujasya Café and the nature-inspired Forest View Deck, offering a tranquil, sustainably sourced dining experience.
Cultivating Natural Beauty with Purpose
Beyond the plate, the hotel cultivates a serene visual and sensory experience through its in-house Leela Nursery, where every bloom gracing the property is meticulously grown and maintained. This commitment to natural beauty continues through a thoughtful floral repurposing programme, where all floral décor is recycled in collaboration with Leela Ke Phool to create handcrafted incense, honouring tradition while reinforcing circularity.
Innovative Guest Wellness and Water Conservation
The hotel enhances guest well-being through advanced air purification systems installed in all rooms and public spaces, ensuring a fresh and healthy environment. Under the Aujasya by The Leela initiative, it also runs an in-house bottling plant, providing purified water in reusable glass bottles. Sustainable water practices include drip irrigation using treated STP water, rainwater harvesting, water aerators, and recycled laundry water; demonstrating a deep commitment to resource conservation.
