InterContinental Marine Drive-Mumbai
Appropriately named for its sea-facing location, InterContinental Marine Drive-Mumbai stands guard over the art deco facades lining South Mumbai’s Marine Drive promenade.
Thanks to this coveted location, you can begin the day with the soothing sounds of the sea as you jog, meditate and read on Marine Drive. It is something else to rest on the promenade’s water-facing ledge with your feet dangling over the city’s famous tetrapods (the four-legged concrete structure that breaks waves).
The luxury hotel’s interiors are functionally opulent and tastefully decorated. Every room at the historic hotel affords mesmerizing vistas of the sea, as well as the Queen’s Necklace, the C-shaped curve of the promenade lit up at night.
The property itself is a popular destination for its Dome rooftop bar and restaurant, as well as for its walkable distance to Wankhede Stadium, where high-profile cricket matches and tournaments take place throughout the year.
- InterContinental Marine Drive-Mumbai’s rooftop lounge Dome is a favorite local nightlife spot. There are few places in the city where you can watch the sunset, let alone a swanky venue serving up cocktails and tasty bites.
- The Mumbai hotel provides some of the largest rooms in the city. There are sea views from most accommodations and spacious marble bathrooms.
- Rare for Mumbai, the property boasts a rooftop pool a few steps above Dome where you can beat the heat without sacrificing those Arabian Sea views. Get a glimpse of the twinkling Queen’s Necklace and expansive Wankhede Stadium.
- Get the most out of your waterfront stay when you check into a Seafront Corner Suite. These spacious accommodations have double the windows for twice the views.
- Spacious marble bathrooms are certainly a highlight with separate showers and soaking tubs stocked with Byredo amenities.
- Between the 1960s and late ’90s, InterContinental Marine Drive-Mumbai was known as Hotel Nataraj. Should you ever find yourself lost while heading back to your quarters, just say “Nataraj” and your taxi driver will know where to take you.
- Down the promenade from the luxury hotel is the National Centre for the Performing Arts, where concerts, plays and workshops take place. If you’re visiting in February, check NCPA’s schedule for screenings and plays happening in conjunction with Kala Ghoda Arts Festival.
- Complete with functional furnishings, the 59 rooms and suites are homey and spacious. Most accommodations have a desk and armchair alongside wide bay windows, where you can work and enjoy the vista.
- Just a six-minute drive up the promenade is Girgaon Chowpatty, a popular public beach that’s home to some enticing local eateries.
- Steps from the waterfront hotel is the beloved K. Rustom Ice Cream, a parlor serving up ice cream sandwiches in flavors like tender coconut and sitaphal custard apple).
- Get your shopping fix at nearby hot spots like Chor Bazaar (one of India's largest flea markets), commercial street Colaba Causeway, boutique bookshop Kitab Khana and the bustling Crawford Market.
- Closer to the Colaba and Fort areas of Old Mumbai are cultural highlights like Café Mondegar (home to artist Mario Miranda’s iconic murals), the striking arch dubbed Gateway of India, the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery and the massive Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya Museum.
