#First Opinion
“At Roseate Hotels & Resorts, sustainability is not an afterthought—it is central to our ethos and deeply ingrained in our design, operations and guest experiences. From the very beginning, we have aspired to create spaces that coexist harmoniously with nature. Our architecture preserves natural landscapes. Our property The Roseate New Delhi is a green sanctuary within urban sprawl, conserving over 1,000 trees. We have embraced water conservation through advanced atmospheric panels that extract and purify moisture from the air, replacing plastic bottles with safe, in-house bottled alkaline water in glass. Our commitment extends to a paperless environment—with digital ordering, billing and e-receipts—and a dedicated shift towards hybrid vehicles to reduce our carbon footprint.”
