Beautiful hotel and excellent service. A real oasis after the hustle and bustle and sheer noise and heat of Mumbai itself. Rooms were wonderful, the whole hotel was very clean. The pool area was relaxing – we were automatically given bottled water and fruit kebabs – and quiet given the chaos around the hotel on the streets.
Recommend the Harbour Bar and also the signature cocktails there – “from the harbour since 1933”. The meal in the Indian restaurant was excellent and very filling.
