Mumbai (Bombay) Hotels

You can find a bed to suit most wallets in Mumbai, although the city is one of the most expensive places to stay in India and budget hotels here charge rates that would be mid-range anywhere else in the country.

The most expensive hotels quote their prices in US Dollars; only resident Indian nationals are permitted to pay in rupees and often the quoted Dollar rate is considerably more than its equivalent in Rupees. Less expensive establishments quote their prices in rupees.

There are various local taxes that apply to hotel room rates and whether these are included in the stated rate or added onto the bill depends on the hotel. Generally, the more modest establishments attract a lower rate of tax. Visitors are strongly advised to check what taxes apply when making a reservation.

The hotels below have been classed into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over US$200)
Moderate (US$60 to US$200)
Cheap (up to US$60)

These are starting prices for a standard double room, excluding local taxes and breakfast, unless otherwise specified. All hotels listed have air conditioning.

Luxury

Abode

A bonafide boutique hotel in the heart of Colaba, Abode recreates the final years of the British Raj, with cool, teak- or tile-floored rooms full of colonial and art deco furnishings and interesting artworks. The location is perfect for exploring South Mumbai, and the hotel benefits from being off the main drag, tucked away behind the historic Regal Cinema.

Gordon House Hotel

Each floor has its own theme at this boutique hotel located just behind Apollo Bunder. Decorated in Mediterranean, Scandinavian or country cottage styles, the rooms are charming without being twee, with plenty of modern gadgets and positively 5-star bathrooms. There's also a bar and the popular Poly Esther's nightclub onsite. Light sleepers should avoid rooms adjoining the club.

Taj Mahal Palace & Tower

A Mumbai institution since 1903, the Taj has played host to Maharajas and monarchs, movie stars and media moguls. Built in striking Indo-Saracenic style, this grand hotel was extensively damaged during the 2008 terrorist attacks, but an artful renovation has removed all traces of the disaster. For more than a century, this has been the epitome of luxury in Mumbai, with graceful vaulted ceilings, tall archways, fine carpets and crystal chandeliers. The Taj also houses some of Mumbai's best restaurants, plus luxury shops, a nightclub, and outdoor pool, gym and even its very own fortune teller.
