President – IHCL SeleQtions Overview

First Impressions

Walking into the President – IHCL SeleQtions on Cuffe Parade, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical Mumbai business hotel. The lobby has this understated elegance that feels refreshingly calm after the chaos of Mumbai streets outside. What struck me most was how the staff genuinely seemed to remember returning guests — and honestly, that makes sense given how many people come back here repeatedly. The five-star property manages to balance sophistication with genuine warmth, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming.

The Location Sweet Spot

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? You’re right in the heart of South Mumbai without feeling trapped in the madness. Cuffe Parade puts you walking distance from the Gateway of India and those gorgeous harbor views, but you can also easily hop over to Colaba Causeway for shopping or grab a cab to Bandra when you want to explore. The couples who stay here absolutely love it — there’s something romantic about being so close to the waterfront while having all of Mumbai’s best restaurants within reach. The neighborhood offers the perfect balance of accessibility and tranquility.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in had floor-to-ceiling windows that actually opened (rare in Mumbai hotels), and the view stretched across the harbor. It’s not flashy, but everything works perfectly — the air conditioning is powerful enough for Mumbai’s humidity, the WiFi doesn’t drop out, and the bathroom has proper water pressure. Small details matter here, like having enough power outlets and a workspace that’s actually usable if you need to get some work done. The thoughtful design extends to every corner, making extended stays genuinely comfortable.

Dining and Amenities

Breakfast is where this five-star property really shines — they’ve got this sprawling buffet that covers everything from proper South Indian dosas to continental options and even some American classics. The restaurant staff knows how to make a good filter coffee, which honestly can make or break a morning in India. Plus, there’s free parking, which might not sound exciting until you’ve tried finding a spot in this part of Mumbai — trust me, it’s a genuine advantage. The culinary offerings and convenient amenities set this hotel apart from its competitors.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back isn’t just the prime location or the reliable service — it’s how the hotel manages to feel like a peaceful retreat while keeping you connected to everything Mumbai has to offer. The staff has this knack for anticipating what you need without being intrusive, and there’s something comforting about staying somewhere that clearly values its repeat guests. Whether you’re here for business meetings in the financial district or exploring Mumbai’s incredible food scene, you’ll find yourself in exactly the right spot to make the most of this vibrant city.
