The Leela Mumbai Overview
First Impressions
Walking into The Leela Mumbai honestly feels like stepping into a different world — and I mean that in the best way possible. This five-star property sits right on Sahar Road, which puts you incredibly close to the airport but somehow manages to feel completely removed from all that chaos. The lobby alone will make you pause for a moment, with its soaring ceilings and that distinctly Indian luxury aesthetic that doesn’t try too hard to impress Western sensibilities.
Location That Actually Works
You know what’s refreshing? A hotel location that couples genuinely love — they’ve rated this spot 9.1 for romantic getaways, and after staying here, I totally get why. Mumbai can be overwhelming, but being positioned near the airport means you’re not stuck in the madness of South Mumbai traffic when you want to explore. Plus, there’s parking here, which anyone who’s driven in Mumbai will tell you is basically worth its weight in gold. The Bandra-Kurla Complex is just a short ride away, so business travelers aren’t sacrificing convenience either.
The Room Experience
I’ll be honest — I was skeptical about the “very comfy beds” claim because hotels love to oversell that stuff. But actually, they weren’t kidding around here. The room I stayed in had this massive bed that somehow managed to be both firm and plush, and the linens felt genuinely expensive. The marble bathroom was spacious enough that you’re not bumping into everything, and the shower pressure — well, let’s just say it’s better than what you’ll find in most luxury hotels. The view depends on which side you’re on, but even the airport-facing rooms have surprisingly good soundproofing.
Dining and Daily Rhythms
The breakfast buffet here is one of those spreads that makes you want to skip lunch entirely. They’ve got everything from perfectly spiced South Indian dishes to continental options that don’t feel like afterthoughts. What I really appreciated was how they handle the restaurant service — attentive without being hovering, and the staff actually knows their menu well enough to make decent recommendations. The coffee is proper strong, which matters more than people realize when you’re dealing with Mumbai’s intensity.
Why Guests Love It
There’s something to be said for a place that earns genuine repeat customers, and The Leela Mumbai definitely has that going for it. Maybe it’s because they’ve figured out that luxury doesn’t have to mean stuffy — the service feels warm rather than formal, and the whole place has this relaxed elegance that works whether you’re here for business or pleasure. The 8.6 rating feels about right, honestly. It’s not trying to be the flashiest hotel in the city, but it delivers on the things that actually matter when you’re traveling.
The concierge service in Mumbai curates private Colaba gallery evenings, yacht dinners off the Gateway, and helipad hops to Nashik wine estates.
