The Orchid
The eco-friendly hotel
The Orchid is Asia's first 5 star ecohotel which has set
new standards when it comes to their commitment to conserving natural
resources. Winner of the ECOTEL Certification Award for Hotels,
The Orchid has become the preferred hotel of tourists and
business travellers alike on their sojourn in Mumbai.
The Orchid is located very close to the domestic and international
airports of Mumbai and provides easy access to the industrial districts
of Mumbai. Its location allows easy access to theatres, entertainment
joints and shopping arcades. The hotel has some 72 rooms that face
the atrium. The structure has an uneven exterior covered with depressions
and protrusions that have been scientifically designed to reduce
the heat load. Additionally,
the domes reduce noise pollution. The lobby of The Orchid has
an exquisite fountain that is a delight to the beholder. The 4 feet
deep swimming pool on the rooftop acts as a radiator, reduces heat
and thereby ensures a cool and relaxing interior.
The
restaurants and coffee shop offer breathtaking views of the atrium.
At the Boulevard restaurant, you can choose from a wide range
of food, be it Mexican or Spanish. At the Vindhyas restaurant,
one can enjoy food from peninsular India in the midst of a south
Indian ambiance. The Merlin offers some of the most breathtaking
cocktails. At the Coffee Bar you can have a steaming hot cup of
coffee. Ensuring a healthy and comfortable stay at The Orchid,
every room is a green room. No plastic or environmentally detrimental
stuff is used be it the bedroom slippers or the laundry bag. Being
a theme hotel, The Orchid has everything that is eco-friendly.
The Orchid is truly a 21st century hotel.
