At the furthest tip of the Marine Drive promenade in South Mumbai, The Oberoi, Mumbai stands tall at Nariman Point. A sight for sore eyes, this luxury hotel sits opposite the Arabian Sea. The stellar property not only delivers quiet from Mumbai’s congestion, but it also offers nearly 300 lavish rooms and suites, a wonderful spa, heralded restaurants and a calming (but elegant) aesthetic throughout.
The hotel’s design focuses on height, light and space. And you appreciate these touches from the moment you enter the central, atrium-like area.The Oberoi is minimalist and luxurious all at once. The air smells of the earthy and softly intoxicating vetiver grass.
