As for Aer, it was very chic and cool a few years ago but honestly it’s not worth it beyond the views. The St Regis is taller and has a bar and a restaurant on its top floor as well. Beware though that both places are major party spots on the weekend and the Regis brings in external security/bouncers that are unnecessarily intimidating and aggressive. This, along with the fact that the rooms feel a bit dated, is why I prefer the Four Seasons over the St Regis.

In any case, there are way better cocktail spots in the city than either hotel’s bars (Otra, Americano and The Bombay Canteen are primarily known got their food but serve incredible cocktails). If you’re even a little bit doubtful, I would avoid the street food altogether. Juhu not worth it, unless you have a particular place to go to there. Bandra has a bunch of walkable areas with some interesting food, bars and cafes so definitely worth it more than Juhu.
Thanks appreciate this. And great to hear both have awesome spas. Leaning towards Four Seaons. Price is like a 1/4 of what it is by me for the Four Seaons so I'm happy with that

So if I only hit up restaurants and no street food do you still have to be a little cautious at which restaurants you go to? I've done 30 countries and never really worried or got sick. I am a little worried for India but maybe its more in my head I dunno.

I know I have to have vada pav in Mumbai, Was reading the chutneys you have to be careful due to the water.

Btw, no issue with showering or brushing teeth like a little water getting in you mouth or both of those things need to be done wtih bottle water (teeth) and really careful in the shower?

All those night life spots look awesome. Bandra too I will go to and ya Juhu I have no place I have to be or know about so with such a short time that will be a skip.

Is the open laundry and the Dharvi slums both cool and worth a visit?
