INDIA: Hotel in Gurugram Adopts Hydroponic Cultivation for In-House Dining

The Leela Ambience Gurugram Hotel and Residences has launched The Green House, a hydroponic glass house developed to support its sustainability objectives and strengthen its farm-to-table practices. Located within the hotel premises, this initiative brings hydroponic farming into the core of the property’s food sourcing strategy.

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using a water-based nutrient solution to deliver essential minerals directly to the plant roots. With this setup, the hotel is now producing fresh vegetables and herbs on-site, including lettuces, tomatoes, and aromatic herbs, which are used in its kitchen.

This initiative is designed to reduce the environmental impact of food sourcing while providing guests with direct visibility into the origins of their meals. Produce grown in The Green House is used in the preparation of various dishes, reinforcing the hotel's focus on traceability and freshness in its culinary offerings

Opened by Josh Smith in March 2024, Neon Greens isn’t your typical café or bistro. It takes the idea of farm-to-table a step beyond with an additional, next-door component: a hydroponic vertical farm.

Inside the farm and its attached “Harvest Capsule,” staff tend to crops like oakleaf, mizuna, sweet crisp, kale and more. Seeds are carefully sown before being placed in the plant nursery to grow; next, they’re plugged into a lush, living wall of lettuce, where water gently trickles down, nourishing the roots.
