If you’ve been following WingTips, you’ll know that I’m currently in India. The trip started with a BA flight to Bahrain, where I checked out the Pearl Lounge and the Bahrain airport hotel. Then, it was Etihad to Abu Dhabi, where I reviewed the Etihad Business class lounge (because priorities) before finally making my way to Mumbai. My first stop? The St. Regis Mumbai.
This hotel is huge, so I’m taking a different approach. Instead of reviewing every last inch, I’m focusing purely on the room experience.

The Hotel
Welcome to the St. Regis Mumbai, where luxury isn’t just a word; it’s a lifestyle. This towering haven boasts 381 rooms, including 28 swanky suites, six restaurants, and a rooftop bar (which, oddly, isn’t run by the hotel, but we’ll let that slide). Fancy a dip? There’s a swimming pool, a spa, and a gym to burn off all those delicious meals.
The Room
I checked into a 25th-floor room with sweeping views of Mumbai, including the infamous Antilia, the world’s most expensive private residence (after Buckingham Palace, of course). I have no complaints here.
Booking & Price
I booked my stay with cash, paying £355 for three nights. But here’s the real win: booking via a Virtuoso agent scored me a room upgrade plus a $100 hotel credit. Always good to squeeze out a little extra luxury.
Points Earned
For three nights, I racked up just under 12,500 Marriott Bonvoy points, which was not life-changing but a decent stash towards my next redemption.
Location
The hotel sits in Lower Parel, right next to the Palladium Mall, ideal for shopping, dining, or just escaping Mumbai’s chaos. And yes, you’ll be neighbours with Antilia, so feel free to ponder what $2 billion buys you in real estate.
Check-In
Like many high-end hotels in India, check-in involves airport-style security, metal detectors, bag scans, and the like. Once you’ve passed that, take the lift to the 9th-floor lobby, where the real luxury begins.
Coffee & Mini-Bar
The room comes stocked with various coffees (because no one should suffer through bad hotel coffee) and a fully loaded mini-bar for those late-night indulgences.
Bathroom
The bathroom? It’s absolutely stacked. There’s a separate toilet, rainfall shower, bathtub, and enough amenities to start your own spa.
Closet Perks
From a safe, plush bathrobes and slippers to shoeboxes and laundry bags, the room delivers on every “I wish I had…” moment.
Pool & Spa
Head to the 9th floor for the swimming pool, spa, and gym, ideal for unwinding or working off a few too many cocktails.
Final Verdict
If I had to sum up the St. Regis Mumbai in one word, it would be Regal. This hotel isn’t just about luxury; it owns it. The prime location, plush interiors, and top-tier service make it a no-brainer. If you’re in Mumbai and want the best, look no further.
