In a city like Bengaluru, known for its gardens, temperate climate, and growing focus on sustainability, ITC Windsor reflects a hospitality approach that is both rooted in legacy and aligned with the future.
Guided by ITC Hotels’ philosophy of ‘Responsible Luxury’, the hotel integrates environmental stewardship into everyday operations—while continuing to deliver refined, heritage-led experiences in the heart of the city
A global benchmark with a local context
As the world’s first hotel to achieve LEED Zero Carbon certification, ITC Windsor has set a precedent in sustainable luxury. Yet, its efforts are deeply contextual—responding to Bengaluru’s evolving urban landscape and the need for responsible resource management.
From energy-efficient infrastructure to intelligent building systems, the hotel is designed to optimise consumption while maintaining the comfort expected of a luxury destination.
Thoughtful energy and resource use
With a growing reliance on renewable energy, including solar power, ITC Windsor continues to reduce its environmental footprint. Energy-efficient systems—from lighting to heating—are seamlessly integrated into operations, ensuring that sustainability remains invisible yet impactful for guests.
Water stewardship in an urban ecosystem
In a city where water conservation is increasingly critical, ITC Windsor adopts a closed-loop approach to water management. Water is treated, recycled, and reused across functions such as gardening and flushing—minimising wastage while supporting the hotel’s lush green spaces.
Through SunyaAqua, ITC Hotels’ zero-mile water initiative, drinking water is purified and bottled in-house, eliminating transportation impact and single-use plastic dependency.
Supporting green surroundings and circular practices
Set amidst verdant surroundings and overlooking one of Bengaluru’s iconic green stretches, the hotel extends its sustainability efforts beyond its premises. Treated water is also modestly shared for the upkeep of the neighbouring golf course, contributing to the maintenance of the city’s green cover.
Internally, ITC Windsor continues to drive waste reduction through segregation, recycling, and composting practices—supporting a more circular model of operations.
Rooted in local, mindful choices
Sustainability also reflects in the hotel’s sourcing practices, with a focus on local and seasonal ingredients that support regional communities while reducing transport-related emissions.
This approach not only enhances freshness and quality but also aligns with Bengaluru’s growing preference for mindful consumption.
Redefining luxury for a conscious city
At ITC Windsor, sustainability is not an add-on—it is embedded into the guest experience. From energy and water efficiency to waste management and responsible sourcing, every initiative reflects a commitment to operating in harmony with the city it calls home.
As Bengaluru continues to evolve as a forward-thinking, sustainability-driven urban centre, ITC Windsor stands as a testament to how luxury hospitality can contribute meaningfully—through practices that are efficient, responsible, and enduring.
