Sherman's Travel

The Luxury Opened in May 2008, India’s first Four Seasons is conveniently situated halfway between Mumbai’s airport and its central business district, Nariman Point. A typical contemporary design scheme with pan-Asian décor sets off the public areas and 202 spacious guest rooms, where guests are invited to luxuriate with plush fabrics and fine furnishings, Italian marble bathrooms equipped with rain-showerheads, and views overlooking either the Arabian Sea or the city skyline. The hotel’s well-regarded San-Qi restaurant offers Indian, Thai, Chinese, and Japanese dishes along with emerging wines from India’s Nashik region, while the rooftop pool (pictured) and onsite spa provide welcomed havens of tranquility amidst the city’s bustle.

The Value Now through April 30, book two nights get the third free, bringing the overall rate down to as low as $220/night (an excellent rate for any Four Seasons property). Morning and evening yoga sessions are also complimentary.

The Catch Enjoy the sunset over the Arabian Sea, but also be prepared for unobstructed views over the Worli district’s sprawling slums.
