Raffles Jaipur has been awarded the prestigious Green Globe certification, marking a significant milestone in sustainable luxury hospitality. Nestled in the heart of Rajasthan, the hotel has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility, cultural preservation, and ethical innovation.
From its inception, Raffles Jaipur has embedded sustainability into every aspect of its operations. Key initiatives include the elimination of single-use plastics, a paperless check-in process, ethically sourced guest amenities, and a no-buffet à la carte dining model to minimize food waste. The hotel also uses an Organic Waste Converter to turn biodegradable waste into compost for its native, drought-tolerant gardens.
To reduce its carbon footprint, the property offers BMW electric vehicle guest transfers and provides on-site EV charging. Energy conservation is achieved through 100% LED lighting, solar-powered daylight systems, motion sensors, and a smart Building Management System (BMS). In water management, the hotel features rainwater harvesting, smart irrigation, and a sewage treatment plant that recycles up to 80% of used water.
Beyond sustainability, Raffles Jaipur champions local culture and community impact through its ‘Vocal for Local’ initiative. The hotel actively supports artisans, folk performers, and regional producers, and partners with institutions such as the Jaipur Centre of Art and Siyahi. It also contributes to school infrastructure development, reinforcing its commitment to cultural and social responsibility.
General Manager Binny Sebastian stated, “Sustainability at Raffles Jaipur is a conscious way of life. This Green Globe certification is a proud reflection of our team’s efforts and our guests’ belief in purposeful luxury.”
With this global recognition, Raffles Jaipur sets a new standard in harmonizing elegance with eco-conscious practices, proving that luxury and sustainability can thrive together.
