i've stayed here a bunch of times in the past & for some reason its the preferred meeting place for a number of my clients in the area so i regularly use their coffee shop & meeting rooms....its definitely a great option if you need to be in this area....

Hey,

I am mentioning some of the best Hotels in Mumbai:

1. The Fountain Inn, Fort

2. Hotel Indie Stays

3. The Orchid Hotel Mumbai Vile Parle

4. Taj (the most obvious)

You didn't. So i will.

It's a delightful property, beautifully located, - but watch out if you are sensitive to boom-boom noise transmitted from the roof-top bar/disco. If you are, try to get one of the rooms not impacted by the noise.

A further caveat is that it's a small property in terms of the number of rooms, so prices can rocket as bookings come in.

I just left the property yesterday, cut me some slack! As a spire member I was upgraded from the entry level room I booked with points, to a suite with a sea view. My award booking didn't include breakfast, but they tossed that in for me as well. When I got to the hotel a bit after midnight, there was some sort of dispute going on at the desk, some local guy tossed some $ back in the clerk's face and said he was being disrespected, so they took me to my room for check-in. I don't know if that's normal procedure or because they wanted to steer me clear of the dust up. The room was nice enough, not anything amazing, but very solid. I enjoyed the location on Marine Drive as it allowed me to walk everywhere. I never made it up to the pool/roof bar sadly, but my room on the 5th floor was in no way impacted by noise from up there. There are so many hotel options in Mumbai, that I would likely not return, but this is not due to any defect in the hotel, simply that I am not going to retain IHG status, so i'd likely go with a Bonvoy property, or something more luxury if I felt like splashing out.

I agree with this. They're both fine properties, but I find the St Regis has a little bit more of really good service, but with the ITC Grand Central while they have the throngs of obsequious flunkies asking you how things are going every couple of minutes, actual service seems a bit wanting. (In both, the excessive obsequiousness is something I'm not a fan of but it seems hard to avoid in India at any "five star" hotel.)

The ITC does tend to be a bit cheaper most of the time. On the flip side, the ITC is in an area where there's not much nearby in walking distance if you're in the mood for getting a bit outside the hotel or taking a walk, while the St Regis is in a very busy area next to a couple of high-end shopping malls and lots of restaurants and such nearby, which make for a welcome change from eating all the time at the (overpriced but admittedly good) restaurants in the hotel.

My view is that the St Regis is the best hotel in Mumbai. I had a brilliant experience when I stayed.

• Amazing views of Arabian Sea
• Tallest building in Mumbai
• Beautifully decorate suite
• Stunning lobby with amazing pieces of art
• Fantastic food
• Rooftop terrace on 37th floor
• Infinity pool
• Exceptional service

I've written reviews for the Hilton Mumbai and the Grand Hyatt on my blog too. Those hotels are very good also

Grand Hyatt Mumbai

The Grand Hyatt is a georgous property, with a location near to the Busines District
