A Pioneer in Sustainability

Grand Hyatt Singapore has long been a trailblazer in sustainable hospitality. Even before environmental standards became an industry norm, the hotel consistently demonstrated deep commitment to human well-being and planetary health. Since 2002, it has quietly championed solutions to reduce energy consumption, water usage, and waste—many measures imperceptible to guests yet crucial in minimizing environmental impact. Now, after years of transformation, the hotel re-emerges as Orchard Road's elegant hospitality sanctuary and wellness haven. Every detail is meticulously crafted to deliver an experience blending holistic rejuvenation, refined sophistication, and sustainable living principles. "During Grand Hyatt Singapore's multi-year transformation, a key priority was creating genuinely meaningful guest experiences—where visitors feel complete belonging through cultural immersion and environmental stewardship," said Clyric Ng, Director of Engineering. "From transitioning to 100% renewable energy to implementing smart utility and waste management systems, we're elevating sustainable luxury standards while preserving the essence of the 'Hyatt experience.'" Thoughtful Welcome, Inspired Journey Guest experiences begin with sustainable design and operations. The revitalized lobby greets visitors with garden landscapes and cascading waterfalls, framed by repurposed stone embodying the hotel's sustainable design ethos. Digital check-ins, wooden key cards, and aluminum pens replace disposable items, eliminating over 10,000 single-use plastics annually. Partnering with Flo Energy, the hotel now operates entirely on renewable electricity. Smart lighting, climate control, and water-saving technologies earned it Green Mark Platinum certification. Conscious Dining, Rooted in Purpose Embodying Hyatt's "Thoughtfully Sourced, Carefully Served" philosophy, the hotel implements sustainability across its F&B chain—from ingredient sourcing to waste management. Over 80% of organic vegetables come from Cameron Highlands and local farms like Spore Gardens and Plauts; 55% of seafood carries sustainability certifications. As Southeast Asia's first hotel introducing plant-based menus, it champions "zero-waste kitchen" practices and full ingredient utilization. It's also Singapore's first adopting Wisefins technology to track each dish's carbon footprint. Closed-Loop System, Circular Economy Model For food waste, the hotel innovatively installed the automated, touch-free WasteMaster 1000 system, converting excess food into odorless, pathogen-free inert matter while retaining 95% nutrients. These nutrient-rich byproducts become fish feed for Metro Farm's tilapia—part of the hotel's hydroponic cycle. The fish waste fertilizes rooftop herb gardens, yielding pesticide-free produce that returns to hotel kitchens. This innovative loop supports Singapore's "30 by 30" food resilience goal while advancing sustainable local production. Quiet Innovation, Profound Impact Sustainability permeates all operations. LED lighting, renewable energy-powered elevators, and rainwater harvesting reduce resource use. Meiko and Granuldisk dishwashers clean 5,000+ items daily with significant water/energy savings. Digital systems like MFC-Application enable paperless food safety records, while RFID technology enhances laundry efficiency. By 2025, an on-site water bottling system will eliminate all disposable plastic bottles in rooms and events. Leaving Sustainable Legacies Departing guests recognize their stay contributed to meaningful change beyond travel. From clean energy to local sourcing, zero-waste dining to closed-loop systems, every aspect builds a sustainable future. With GSTC certification and years of sustainable practices, Grand Hyatt Singapore demonstrates how luxury and responsibility harmonize—offering both elegance and purpose. This extraordinary journey reaches new heights in May 2025 with the reopening of its fully renovated luxury wing, delivering elevated comfort that thoughtfully considers people and planet alike.
