5-star hotel guide to Mumbai
Mumbai is the city of hope, dreams and wonder. The jewel of Maharashtra shines along the shores of the Arabian Sea and paints a Picasso-esque scene with throngs of crowds, a riot of colour and a pleasant assault on the senses.
From designer shopping malls to quaint fishing harbours, from modern skyscrapers to the iconic Gateway of India, the subcontinent's contrast of old and new is never more evident than in Mumbai.
Stop by the famed Elephanta Caves where centuries-old rock art still astound or watch the derby at the Mahalaxmi Race Course. Sip a 'cutting chai' while taking in the picturesque scenes at Marine Drive or a gourmet culinary adventure in a regal setting. Bargain for a handcrafted souvenir in an alleyway or browse corridors packed with high-value contemporary Indian art. Mumbai is richly rewarding and full of soul.
