Courtyard by Marriott Aravali announces a significant leap in its sustainability journey with the successful installation of a 368 kilowatt peak (KWp) solar power plant. This landmark initiative reinforces the property’s deep-rooted commitment to environmentally responsible hospitality while paving the way for a cleaner, greener future.
Nestled amid the scenic Aravali Hills, the hotel is now harnessing the abundant solar potential of its surroundings to generate over 1,272 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy every day. The solar plant substantially reduces the hotel’s reliance on conventional energy sources, bringing down its carbon footprint and operational emissions. Over the course of a year, this renewable energy system is expected to offset a considerable amount of greenhouse gases, equivalent to planting thousands of mature trees or removing hundreds of cars from the road.
The solar panels have been strategically integrated into the architecture to maximize energy yield while maintaining the natural harmony of the property. This clean energy powers several core functions, including air conditioning, lighting, kitchen operations, and water heating, allowing the hotel to function more sustainably without compromising its elevated guest experience.
“At Courtyard by Marriott Aravali, we believe that the future of hospitality lies in responsible innovation,” said Anuj Chaudhry, General Manager, Courtyard by Marriott Aravali. “The installation of this solar plant reflects our unwavering dedication to sustainability, not just as a concept, but as a continuous commitment to action. We want to offer our guests an experience where luxury meets mindfulness, and where their stay contributes to something larger, something greener.”
Anuj Chaudhry added, “Our vision is to transform Courtyard by Marriott Aravali into a benchmark for eco conscious hospitality. This solar initiative is just the beginning. We are working toward implementing a range of environmentally friendly practices, from water conservation and rainwater harvesting to waste segregation and local sourcing of produce. Sustainability, for us, is not a checkbox, it’s our culture.”
“The Courtyard by Marriott Aravali’s solar installation is a powerful demonstration of how premium hospitality and sustainability can — and must — coexist,” said Dr. Sanjay Sethi, MD & CEO of Chalet Hotels Ltd. “We view every green milestone not just as an operational win, but as a step toward a more resilient and responsible future. This project reflects our commitment to Net Zero 2040 and our investment in innovation that serves both our guests and the planet.”
As the world reflects on the importance of ecological harmony and sustainability initiatives, Courtyard by Marriott Aravali invites its guests, partners, and community members to be part of its journey towards a more sustainable future, one solar panel at a time.
