As a responsible business group, Radisson Hotel Group believes that sustainability needs to extend beyond the walls of its hotels. It has to envelop conducting business ethically in all that the property does locally and strive to be a flourishing, green and conscientious entity for people, community and the planet.
Embracing this ethos, the upcoming Radisson Resort & Spa Lonavala has added a few more rudiments at its property to stand out from the crowd at the popular destination. Giving a sneak peak, its General Manager, Alok Kaul revealed that nature is the design and architecture driver for the resort. It has strategically included natural elements in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and economically viable. For instance, it has an open atrium, which reduces the need for air-conditioning systems, leading to higher cost efficiency.
Moreover, as a resort, sustainability is inherent in the fabric of its operations. It addresses environmental issues by recycling waste produce, investing in solar energy, water harvesting and using landscaping that features the vibrant native vegetation. These measures enable it to save a tidy sum every year, reduce its energy consumption and protect the environment.
Kaul said that Radisson Resort & Spa Lonavala had several other sustainability aces up its sleeve, but wanted guests to see it for themselves when the property opens later this year. He added that the resort aspires to be a catalyst for change in the green movement by proactively incorporating the most sustainable options in everything it does.
