Hotel in Mumbai

Mumbai is a city with so many sides it's hard to sum up in one sentence. It's home to the legendary film industry Bollywood, glorious colonial architecture and eclectic bazaars, mayhem on the roads, a trendy nightlife and also has some serious issues with poverty. It has so much that it is simply a must see Indian city.

Mumbai is crammed with superb colonial architecture and visiting some of these buildings from our hotels in Mumbai is an essential part of any stay in the city. Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is now a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its cultural importance and it still functions today as the main railway station in the city. Other examples around the city include the Taj Mahal Hotel and Mumbai University which are also timeless constructions. Among the chaos of Mumbai are a number of bazaars full of character and interesting things to buy. Chor Bazaar—or Thieves Market—specialises in selling a diverse range of strange antiques from tea sets to engines and if you feel confident spotting something authentic and valuable you could easily snap up a bargain. Housed inside another fantastic colonial building is Crawford Market which is famed for selling fruit, vegetables, meat, pets and so much more. Wandering to these markets form our Mumbai hotels is a great way to spend a day.

Another UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the greatest attractions in Mumbai is Elephanta Island. Situated in the middle of Mumbai Harbour the island can be reached by boat and is well known for its cave temples which have been carved into the rock on the island. The site is similar to the caves at Ellora and Ajanta.

No trip to Mumbai is ever complete without an appreciation of the importance of cricket. From your hotel in Mumbai a trip to the Wankhede Cricket Stadium to see a match will be a cultural experience for lovers and non-lovers of the game.
