It may not be the most beautiful or luxurious hotel in Mumbai, but this classy business property offers ultra-efficient service, excellent restaurants, and a convenient location in a smart neighborhood not too far from the maelstrom of busy Colaba. Shades of purple combine with marble, wood, and metal, and are playfully offset by elegant bonsai trees in a brand-new lobby that pays homage to the 1970s. Standard rooms are decently sized, with solid wooden furniture, brown-red carpets, and an emphasis on paisley fabrics. It's worth paying a little extra for a room on the Executive Floor, which has received an ultra-contemporary makeover by one of Bombay's leading designers; pale tones and modern works of art combine to make this, the 17th floor, quite different from the other, old-fashioned floors.
