Our Environment

At PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering, Singapore, sustainability is at the heart of our operations. As Singapore’s first “hotel-in-a-garden,” we bring the outdoors in with lush greenery, smart eco-technologies, and thoughtful touches that reduce our impact on the planet. 

Landscape and Greenery

  • Fifty different varieties of plants are used to create a 15,000m2 lush tropical urban high-rise garden
  • Features dense, layered and large-leaved exotic planting like Monsteras, Alocasias & Calatheas as well as ferns and palm varieties 
  • A combination of shade-loving textured ferns, palms and shrubs were planted, addressing the varying natural light and wind conditions along the four sides of the building 
  • Flora species ranging from shade trees, tall palms, flowering plants, leafy shrubs and overhanging creepers encourage bio-diversity in the city  
  • Ferns, Mondo grass (Ophiopogon), Alocasia and Euterpe Palms minimise potential pest attacks and lower maintenance efforts 
  • The vast greenery absorbs heat, shades hard surfaces and the evaporative transpiration results in improved air quality 
  • Rain harvesting, auto-irrigation and fertigation systems installed for all planter areas ensure that through time-controlled drip nozzles, steady and precise amounts of water and nutrients are provided 

Green Features and Innovation

  • 262 solar panels installed on the roof generate clean, renewable energy
  • EV charging stations are available and an electric car is used for guest transfers
  • Short building depth maximises the amount of daylight reaching internal spaces
  • High performance glass cuts out solar heat and provides an abundance of natural daylight
  • Photo sensors are strategically placed to monitor light levels
  • 90% of lighting is energy-efficient LED, and water-efficient fittings are used throughout the building where appropriate

Rooms

  • More than 50% of guest room corridors are set in lush garden-inspired spaces with natural light and fresh air
  • Recycling bins in all guest rooms
  • Water filter dispenser in all guest rooms replaces single-use plastic bottles, conserving approximately 230,000 plastic bottles each year
  • Recycled composite granite are used for bathtubs, sinks and vanity tops
  • Large windows allow maximum natural light in, reducing the need for artificial lighting
  • Premium amenities which are B Corporation-certified and cruelty-free are presented in refillable pump bottles

Food and Beverage

  • Our rooftop Urban Farm provides fresh ingredients for farm-to-table dining, which reduces the hotel's reliance on food deliveries and lowers carbon footprint
  • Our conscious-dining programme features a selection of dishes that are nutritious, low in food waste and use locally sourced ingredients
  • Lime Bar concocts signature eco-friendly cocktails thoughtfully designed to reduce waste. Every part of the fruit, such as seeds and skin, is fully extracted to produce quality and delicious drinks
  • Fresh greens harvested from the hotel's herb garden and sustainably-sourced produce are used to create mouth-watering dishes
  • Food waste digester converts food waste into greywater, which is responsibly discharged into sewage

Our People and Community

We believe sustainability begins with people, and so, we strive to create opportunities that uplift and inspire. One such initiative is inclusive employment, including roles for persons with disabilities.

We also work closely with schools such as ITE College West and Boon Lay Secondary School to nurture future talent, offering internships and hotel tours that inspire young learners about sustainability in action. As part of a collaboration with Go Green SG, we also offered sustainability tours for members of our community to discover and learn about how we incorporate green practices into our hotel. 

Community spirit shines through our annual Chinese New Year gifting, where oranges and red packets are shared with nearby residents. We also partner with groups like The Very Special Choir — comprising children with special needs — to bring music to our spaces during Christmas.

Our Art, Culture and Heritage

A stay with us is a celebration of Singapore’s culture and heritage. At Lime Restaurant's buffets, you can savour local favourites such as Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Rojak, Kueh Pie Tee and Chicken Rice. Throughout the year, we also bring festive traditions to life — from the vibrant energy of our Lunar New Year lion and dragon dances to the joyful sparkle of our Christmas celebrations.

We are passionate about supporting local artists and communities. Our collaborations, such as the art-inspired menu created with Singaporean artist Ms. Shen Jiaqi for UOB’s 43rd Painting of the Year, combine culinary creativity with visual arts, with part of the proceeds donated to ART:DIS to support artists with disabilities. 

For the fourth consecutive year, UOL and Pan Pacific Hotels Group have also been awarded the Distinguished Patron of the Arts Award 2025 by the National Arts Council, recognising our group's commitment to championing inclusive arts and nuturing the local arts scene.
