Overlooking the iconic Marine drive, Oberoi Mumbai offers guests breathtaking views of the shoreline adorned with the city’s ‘Queen’s Necklace’ lights. A striking example of modern architecture, the hotel comes with 226 rooms and 73 suites with exciting cityscapes and infinite ocean views. With floor-to-ceiling windows seamlessly blended with pale ivory, sage and rich brown interiors, the suites are blessed with an abundant flow of natural light, permeating the space with a sense of tranquility and calm, while the carefully selected decorative pieces—including accent chairs and silk upholstered cushions in carmine, amber, and azure—lend a splash of vibrance to every space within its premises. The venue comes replete with specially commissioned oil paintings and lithographs, traditional marble petra dura tabletops, and mother-of-pearl inlay in cabinetry, coupled with the natural texture of silk, dark oak, walnut furniture, and marble that conveys a certain warmth and richness. Where else would one want to stay during the city’s romantic monsoon season?
