Review
Arriving at this sprawling, 355-room property, it’s clear this hotel is a campus unto itself, an oasis in bustling Mumbai, complete with stylish restaurants (including Arola by namesake Michelin-starred Spanish chef Sergio Arola), hip nightclubs, and a stunning spa. Since the hotel sits in Juhu, close to several film studios, it attracts plenty of A-list stars, startlets, producers, and others in the biz, which in turn gives the place a certain allure.
While the property does have beach access, sun bathing is not common in India, so instead, choose from one of the three private pools, or linger by the on-site lotus pond. Or spend the day at the Quan spa, where the therapies include everything from a rose and milk bath to a cardamom and coconut-infused body polish.
The grand ocean suites, outfitted with large bathtubs that overlook the beach, are particularly stunning. Also impressive are the executive superior rooms with ocean views and access to the club on the fourth floor.
Who Should Stay
This property will appeal to everyone from couples to business travelers to families, but those looking to sightsee in South Mumbai will encounter traffic and are better off booking rooms at the Taj or Oberoi.
