Hanging in here...I will be in Mumbai next Friday and Saturday (three night stay, checking in Thurday very late/early friday) and then leaving early sunday for a flight to Pune. I am basically there to adjust to Indian time zone and climate, so I will probably catch an uber down to Taj Mahal Palace hotel near the Gateway to India on one day, but apart from that I estimate to stay put at my hotel and use the facilities, especially the pool.

Therefore a great lounge and decent hotel restaurants will be my main priorities, nice pool second, tied with being reasonably close to the airport. Currently I am considering the JW Juhu Beach (stayed there in 2017 and loved the hotel, despite the lack of a notable upgrade), the Hilton at the airport (still in need for some $$$-credit to keep Diamond) and the Westin Powai Lake - the Westin being the cheapest, the Hilton in the middle and Juhu Beach the most expensive in my corporate rate.

Given that I consider breakfast my most important meal when travelling and considering the JW Juhu Beach breakfast (before pandemic) to be my so far best breakfast I encountered around the world - what hotel would you suggest and why? Thanks in advance for your suggestions and insights!

Greetings - Dirk
