What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
the ‘back’ of the hotel is all guest rooms, with no grand entrance taking up space, and more rooms thus overlook the harbor
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The waterfront setting places you directly opposite the Gateway of India, moments from the bustling shops and cafes along Colaba Causeway.
The rooms
Bright, contemporary spaces feature calming neutral tones, tailored pillow menus, and wide windows framing panoramic views across Mumbai harbour.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
The central courtyard shelters a landscaped swimming pool and whirlpool, beside a fitness center equipped for yoga.
The spa
J Wellness Circle focuses on Ayurveda-inspired therapies, Indian cupping, and herbal wraps preceded by steam rituals.
At the table
Rooftop Souk serves Eastern Mediterranean dishes over the water, and Harbour Bar pours drinks at a sculpted white marble counter.
How it began
Opened in 1973 on the site of Green's Hotel, the modernist high-rise incorporates traditional South Indian and Rajasthani architectural motifs.
