InterContinental

Mumbai (Bombay)


Very sleek for an InterContinental: all earth tones and East Asian chic, and deluxe sea-front rooms are sizeable with a massive picture window. Halfmoon corner suites mirror the curve of Marine Dr, and were also undergoing art deco–themed upgrades at time of research. Lower-category rooms have poor views. The stylish and pricey Dome lounge graces the rooftop.
