Mumbai guide
Planning a trip and not sure where to begin? Here are the places our guests ask about most, grouped by area so you can build a day around each one.
Start from Jogeshwari
Mumbai has something for everyone: beaches and water parks, pilgrim sites, colonial architecture, street food and film sets. Couples, college groups, families with children and solo business travellers all find a version of the city that suits them.
The hotel is a practical base for all of it. We are about 7 km from the airport, close to the highway and the suburban railway, and our travel desk can help with tickets, taxis and tour bookings.
Opening hours and ticket prices change. Check before you travel, or ask at the front desk.
Near the hotel
Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon
The city's biggest trade-fair venue, at NESCO on the Western Express Highway, is 2 km away. Exhibitors and visitors stay with us to skip the cross-town commute.
Andheri Lokhandwala
A 2 km hop to one of the suburbs' best-known shopping streets: clothes, shoes, street food, cafes, and the odd film or television face in the crowd.
Versova Beach
A quieter stretch of sand 3 km from the hotel, edged by a Koli fishing village. Come for sunset, fresh seafood nearby, or the short ferry across to Madh Island.
Juhu Beach
Mumbai's most famous beach, 6.5 km away. Evenings are the time to go, for the sunset, the pav bhaji and bhel puri stalls, and the crowd.
Oberoi Mall
Big-brand shopping, a food court and a multiplex in Goregaon East, about 5 km from the hotel.
Mumbai Film City
Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari in Goregaon East is where much of Bollywood and Indian television is shot. Guided bus tours take you past standing sets and, with luck, a live shoot.
Chota Kashmir
A landscaped garden and boating lake in the green belt of Aarey Colony. Good for an unhurried hour in a rowboat or pedal boat.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A protected forest inside the city limits at Borivali, with a lion and tiger safari, a toy train, boating and plenty of walking trails.

An eight-lane cable-stayed bridge that carries traffic 5.6 km across Mahim Bay. Drive it once for the view, then see it lit up at night from Worli Sea Face.

A sea-facing promenade lined with film stars' homes. Walk on to Bandra Fort, built by the Portuguese in 1640, and up the hill to Mount Mary Basilica.
Shri Siddhivinayak Temple
