Occupying the top 12 floors of one of Mumbai's tallest towers, the St. Regis brings its signature butler service and neo-Art Deco grandeur to the city's most dynamic new district. The rooftop infinity pool at 35 floors, overlooking the mill district skyline, is extraordinary, and the location in Lower Parel puts guests at the epicentre of contemporary Mumbai's restaurant and nightlife scene.

Nariman Point

The Oberoi Mumbai

Positioned on Marine Drive with a private beach and panoramic views across the Arabian Sea, The Oberoi is a monument to restrained Indian luxury — interiors by designer Adam Tihany, service that anticipates every need, and a rooftop pool that delivers one of Asia's most cinematic sunsets. The Oberoi Spa's Ayurvedic therapies are among the finest in the country.
