 OUR GREEN ROOMS
We make every effort to ensure that our guests enjoy a healthy and comfortable stay. To this end, we use imported anti-allergy and odour-free Carpets
In keeping with our Environmental commitment, every room is a 'green room'. We have brought down the use of wood, paper and plastic to a bare minimum.

 *
In house paper and plastic shopping bags have been replaced by cloth bags.
*
News-papers and laundry are delivered in cane baskets.
 *
All closet hangers are made from pressed particle boards while the pens
and pencils are made out of recycled cardboard, reprocessed plastic and
scrap wood.
*
All stationary is either handmade or made from recycled paper.
 *
Guests are provided with hand-crafted, rubber-soled reed slippers for use
in the room.
*
Use of cut flowers has been totally eliminated from guest rooms and replaced with healthy potted plants.
*Each room has a 'recycle bin' in addition to the waste bin, so that involved guests can deposit recyclable material for reuse.
 *
The 'Eco-button' on the bed-side panel, is part of our
'GUEST PARTICIPATION PROGRAMME'
When
a guest voluntarily presses this button, the thermostat of the room's air-conditioning
unit is stepped up by 2oC. The resultant savings in electricity
are translated into rupee terms by a central computer, displayed on the
guest profile and folio and a certificate issued to the guest.
*
The Hotel has introduced the key card system wherein the lights and AC
are activated only as the Guest's card is inserted into the Energy Saving
Device. The system also ensures that the room automatically goes into the
"power down" mode when the guest leaves.
