A teeming metropolis hailed as the financial capital of the country, Mumbai is one of the fastest growing cities in India. Sandwiched between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats, Mumbai is the city and the capital of Maharashtra. Mumbai was formed by joining seven islands on the Konkan coastline and is home to an estimated 25 million people. The eclectic and cosmopolitan nature of Mumbai is symbolized by the presence of glitzy Bollywood and the fact that the city is home to largest number of slum population in the country. If you are visiting the city and want to experience a unique accommodation experience, then check out these unique hotels in Mumbai.
Le Sutra
This contemporary property calls itself 'India's first art hotel' and aims to provide its guests a crash course in Indian philosophy in addition to a comfortable stay. The three floors of this boutique hotel correspond to the “three gunas' of Hinduism – Tamas (darkness), Rajas (passion) and Sattva (goodness). The interiors and the rooms of this Mumbai hotel is beautifully furnished with decorative pieces, artifacts and paintings relating to Indian and Hindu mythology. Once you're done admiring the interiors, head to the posh Olive Bar & Kitchen lounge next door for some Mediterranean grub and drinks. Or head to the seafront to watch the sunset and gorge on delicious Mumbai street food.
Executive Enclave
The brightly lit plastic palm tree at entrance is the first sign of the kitsch theme that pervades the entirety of this hotel. However, if you look beyond the questionable taste of its interior decorators, you will find this centrally located hotel offers everything required for a comfortable stay. The 54 rooms within this Mumbai hotel are well furnished with modern amenities and guests can gorge on Asian and European fares at the rooftop lounge/restaurant. The hotel is located at a few minutes walk from the Pali market, home to Bandra's top restaurants and pubs.
Chateau Windsor Hotels
Despite its name, the Chateau Windsor doesn't have the faintest resemblance to a chateau. It is a residential building converted to a no frill hotel with spacious rooms and friendly staff. The Marine Drive and Churchgate station are equidistant from this Mumbai hotel, rendering it the perfect option for both business and leisure travellers. This family run hotel doesn't have an in house restaurant but you can get food ordered from the near by restaurants for a very nominal fee.
