Meluha – The Fern

Meluha – The Fern Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Meluha – The Fern in Mumbai‘s Powai district, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical business hotel. The lobby has this understated elegance that feels refreshing after navigating Mumbai’s bustling streets — it’s polished without being stuffy, you know? What struck me most was how the staff seemed genuinely pleased to see guests, not just going through the motions. This five-star property sits right in Hiranandani Gardens, which honestly feels like a different world compared to the chaos of central Mumbai.

The Powai Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — Powai Lake is literally a stone’s throw away, and you can actually see it from some rooms. The area has this almost suburban feel while still being connected to everything that matters in Mumbai. Hiranandani Gardens is one of those planned developments that actually worked, with tree-lined streets and decent parking (which, trust me, is gold in this city). The couples who stay here aren’t wrong to rate the location so highly — there’s something romantic about being near the water while still having easy access to Bandra-Kurla Complex and the airport.

Sleep Like You Mean It

I’ll be honest — I’m usually skeptical when hotels boast about their beds, but this place delivers. The room I stayed in had one of those mattresses that’s firm enough to support you but soft enough that you sink in just right. The air conditioning works perfectly (crucial in Mumbai’s humidity), and the blackout curtains actually block out light. What really impressed me was the attention to details like quality linens and multiple pillow options. You wake up feeling like you actually rested, not like you just survived the night.

Breakfast Worth Getting Up For

The breakfast spread here is something else — they’ve managed to nail both Indian and international options without either feeling like an afterthought. The dosas are made fresh, the continental selection doesn’t feel sad and wilted, and they do a proper Full English that would make a Londoner happy. I mean, finding good vegetarian options alongside quality bacon in the same buffet isn’t always easy, but they pull it off. The restaurant space is bright and airy, with large windows that make morning feel less rushed than it usually does in Mumbai.

Why Guests Love It

There’s a reason people keep coming back to this place — it strikes that rare balance between professional service and genuine warmth. The location gives you the best of both worlds: peaceful surroundings when you want to decompress, but easy access to Mumbai’s business districts when duty calls. Whether you’re here for work or exploring the city with someone special, Meluha manages to feel like a proper retreat without isolating you from everything Mumbai has to offer. It’s the kind of place where you actually look forward to returning at the end of a long day.

  Received 5-stars services from this property. Location was great.

• Avneesh from India (9/10)

  I recently stayed at the Meluha – The Fern hotel in Mumbai. The hotel is a five-star property, and everything was at par with what you would expect from a five-star hotel. The staff was courteous and always willing to help. I especially appreciated Nikhil, the housekeeping person on the sixth floor, who was always available to help me and my two young children.

• Rohit from Singapore (8/10)
