The Oberoi Mumbai
Mumbai

Located on Mumbai’s southern tip in the heart of Nariman Point, The Oberoi Mumbai commands a prime position on the coastal skyline. Overlooking the Arabian Sea and just steps from the National Centre for the Performing Arts, it offers sweeping views across India’s vibrant financial capital and the iconic curve of Marine Drive, also known as the ‘Queen’s Necklace’.

The hotel’s contemporary façade reflects its status as one of Mumbai’s most stylish addresses, and it remains a top choice for those seeking comfort, design and sophistication in this fast-paced city. Whether arriving in India for the first time or returning from a day of exploration, guests are welcomed by the signature scent of tuberose and jasmine that drifts through the light-filled atrium, a sensory reminder of the calm sanctuary within. Natural daylight pours through soaring windows, highlighting original artwork, lush greenery, sculptural water features and a striking red grand piano that anchors the lobby.

The Oberoi features 287 elegant rooms, including 73 suites, many with expansive views over the Arabian Sea or the glittering city lights. The design is pared-back and refined, with mother-of-pearl cabinetry, dark oak flooring, silk accents and soundproof double-glazed windows that cocoon guests from the hum of the city outside. Our favourite is the Executive Suite with Ocean View, which includes a spacious living room, a king-sized bedroom, and a freestanding bathtub with a view.

Guests can unwind at the serene Oberoi Spa or take in panoramic views from the rooftop pool. Dining is a highlight, with Fenix offering all-day international fare, from pan-Asian dishes to modern Western plates, while Ziya, led by Michelin-starred chef Vineet Bhatia, reimagines classic Indian cuisine with flair. At Vetro, fine Italian ingredients are complemented by a curated wine library, and for something more relaxed, the elegant Champagne lounge near the lobby is ideal for a pre- or post-dinner drink.

Although its interiors are more international in aesthetic than traditionally Indian, guests can access the neighbouring Trident Nariman Point, The Oberoi’s sister property, via an internal corridor. This extends the dining options and leisure facilities available to Oberoi guests, although Trident guests don’t have reciprocal access.

The Oberoi Mumbai remains our preferred address in the city, not only for its luxurious design and unbeatable location, but also for the exceptional service that defines the Oberoi brand. Thoughtful, discreet and ever-attentive, the staff ensure each stay is as seamless and memorable as the views.

When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.
