The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts Elevates Guest Experience with Double DISCOVERY Dollars Reward and Green Collection Recognition

Mumbai, April 30, 2025 — The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts, announces two significant milestones that enhance both guest rewards and environmental commitment: the launch of Double DISCOVERY Dollars for Summer 2025 and the inclusion of all its palace properties in Global Hotel Alliance's prestigious Green Collection.

The Double DISCOVERY Dollars summer offering invites discerning travellers to earn twice the rewards on eligible stays until September 30, 2025, when booked directly via theleela.com using the Leela DISCOVERY Member Special rate.

"These dual initiatives reflect The Leela's evolution in luxury hospitality," said Anuraag Bhatnagar, Chief Executive Officer, The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts. "With Double DISCOVERY Dollars, we enhance the value of every stay while our Green Collection recognition reaffirms our deep-rooted commitment to responsible luxury. Together, they ensure that every experience at The Leela is both rewarding and sustainable."

The Leela's sustainability journey includes numerous initiatives: renewable energy powering several palace properties, in-house water bottling plants under Aujasya by The Leela eliminating single-use plastics, eco-friendly boats at The Leela Palace Udaipur, Tishya by The Leela bath amenities in 100% recyclable packaging, EV charging stations across multiple properties, and the innovative Leela Ke Phool initiative that repurposes floral waste into charcoal-free incense.
