Uppal�S Orchid - An Ecotel Hotel

If you are driving on NH-8 near the IGI Airport, you'll see Uppal's Orchid right there. Being near the airport means things never really stop here. There is always the sound of planes or cars on the highway. We call ourselves an Ecotel because we try to be a bit more careful with things like water and waste. We don't make a huge fuss about it though. Our building has some age on it. You might notice that in a few spots, though we keep it clean. Tired travelers come through our doors after long flights just looking for sleep. We aren't always perfect. Sometimes a room isn't ready exactly on time because the previous guest checked out late. We just have to deal with it. We don't use those shiny corporate slogans. We are just a group of people working shifts to keep the place running 24 hours a day. The lobby is often full of luggage and people looking at their watches. We focus on getting people checked in so they can rest. It’s a lot of work keeping up with the airport schedule. We all get a bit tired sometimes. But we like the energy of the highway and being the first place people see when they land in Delhi. It's just a regular hotel doing its best. We hope the guests get some sleep. It is noisy.
