This is without a doubt, the nicest hotel I stayed in last year. there are 2 different sections, the Palace and the Towers, the Palace was built in 1903, I think, it has a private reception area. Normally they are serving drinks but we checked in at 0530 local. There are butlers on the floor to help with all of your needs. The rooms are very nice as you can see from the photos. I did have some trouble with the satellite TV but it was fixed very quickly. The hotel is located directly across fro the Gateway to India, a very historic structure built in the early 1900's for the the visit of King George and Queen Mary. We walked over to it once and were mobbed by people selling stuff and people just begging for whatever they could get, the begging and sales tactics invaded our personal space considerably. A driving tour of the city was a much better way to see the sites of Mumbai. The restaurants in the hotel were wonderful, we ate at "Iron Chef" Morimoto's place twice, the pool was grand and the health club and spa were both outstanding. The hotel has a very nice shopping area featuring many expensive brands of clothing, jewelry, handbags etc. This hotel is about a 1.5 hour drive back to the airport during busy traffic. The rooms were about $450 US per night. All of the service was exceptional
