The Westin Mumbai Garden City Achieves LEED Platinum Certification, Setting a New Sustainability Benchmark

Mumbai, 5th June 2025: The Westin Mumbai Garden City proudly announces it has been awarded the prestigious LEED Platinum Certification — one of the highest global recognition from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for energy and environmental design leadership. This milestone places the hotel among the world’s most elite sustainable properties, reflecting its unwavering commitment to environmentally responsible hospitality.

Sustainability is deeply woven into the hotel’s DNA from eco-friendly infrastructure to daily operations. Recent initiatives include an upgraded sewage treatment plant (STP), ensuring that all treated water is reused for flushing, HVAC systems, and gardening. Guest rooms and public areas feature controlled showers and sensor-operated faucets to reduce water use, and a proactive maintenance system ensures optimal water efficiency. In the laundry, environmentally friendly green chemicals help save both water and steam.

On the energy front, the hotel employs efficient LED lighting, a centralized HVAC plant operating on variable frequency drives, and carefully optimized boilers and laundry systems to reduce consumption. Additionally, the property champions the use of renewable energy sources, the elimination of single-use plastics, and sustainable sourcing in both culinary and operational areas — from serving cage-free eggs and sustainably certified seafood to procuring ethical linens and toiletries.

“We are honoured to achieve LEED Platinum certification, which reflects the hard work and passion of our team in making every aspect of our hotel greener and more responsible,” said Sumeet Suri, General Manager, The Westin Mumbai Garden City. “Our guests can enjoy world-class luxury with the confidence that their stay contributes to a healthier planet.”

Set amid Mumbai’s vibrant cityscape, The Westin Mumbai Garden City continues to redefine modern hospitality by blending contemporary elegance, wellness, and sustainability, showing that luxury and environmental responsibility can indeed go hand in hand.
