India's most famous cricket ground — where India won the 2011 World Cup. We've hand-picked the best hotels in Mumbai within easy reach, so you can catch the game without the commute.
Mumbai's original design hotel occupies a converted Art Deco building near Regal Cinema, with three distinct interior themes — Scandi, Mediterranean, and Country — that give each floor a distinct personality. It is compact, convivial, and supremely located for exploring Colaba's galleries and cafés on foot. The All Stir Fry restaurant in the basement is a Colaba institution.
ITC Grand Central occupies a converted heritage building in Lower Parel with a warm, tobacco-toned aesthetic that nods to the mill district's industrial past. The hotel's sustainability credentials are exceptional — ITC properties are among the greenest in the world — and the signature Dum Pukht restaurant, with its Nawabi slow-cooked dishes, is reason enough to book a table even if you're not a guest.
Tucked behind a heritage building facade on Arthur Bunder Road, Abode Bombay is Mumbai's finest boutique hotel — 21 individually designed rooms that celebrate old Bombay with hand-printed fabrics, local artwork, and furniture salvaged from the city's colonial past. The rooftop terrace, breakfast, and genuinely warm personal service make it the city's most characterful small hotel.
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.
Commanding the dramatic headland above the Arabian Sea in Bandra, Taj Lands End pairs Bollywood glamour with understated luxury — the sea-facing rooms look out over the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, and the hotel's Mezzo Bar is one of Mumbai's great sunset drinking perches. It is the natural choice for travellers who want the Taj standard with a more contemporary, western-suburbs sensibility.
