Hotel
1. The Taj Mahal Palace
Mumbai's grand heritage hotel opposite the Gateway of India, welcoming guests since 1903, with 285 rooms and suites, a pool, spa and celebrated restaurants.
View details — The Taj Mahal PalaceWhere you stay in Mumbai shapes your trip, because traffic makes long journeys slow. Colaba and the Fort are the best bases for first-time visitors who want to explore on foot: The Taj Mahal Palace, welcoming guests since 1903, faces the Gateway of India, while Abode Bombay offers boutique style in a 1910 building and Bentley's Hotel is a simple budget option close by. Residency Hotel Fort is a practical mid-range choice about 100 metres from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.
Nariman Point and Marine Drive offer sea views: The Oberoi, Mumbai and Trident, Nariman Point stand at the southern end of the seafront, and Sea Green Hotel offers large rooms at a moderate price on Marine Drive itself. The Four Seasons in Worli suits travellers who want to be nearer the mill district's restaurants and bars, and it is home to the rooftop bar Aer. Book early for the cooler months from November to February, ask for sea-view rooms where they matter to you, and check whether breakfast and airport transfers are included in your rate.
