Glad you enjoyed the StR Mumbai.
Tried looking for a thread on this but couldn't find anything appropriate, sorry for that.
I very much value the SPG Gold late check-out perk (4PM), and I am in no way saying I should be able to check-out for free by 10PM.
But in my experience many hotels allow evening check-out for a 50% charge, be it even 75%. I've honestly never been charged a full night when checking out around 9-10PM. As I'm a regular the MD granted me a discount but it wouldn't hurt if it were a general rule with many western pax flights arriving at BOM around 2200-0000 and leaving around 2300-0200. Of course supply & demand comes into play so perhaps there is no need for them to even offer such a perk.
Must say - great hotel. Quality definitely up since the change from Palladium to St Regis.
