RENAISSANCE MUMBAI HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTRE
2 & 3, near Chinmayanand Ashram, Powai
Tel: 5692 8888; Fax: 56928899
Powai is a bit like the back of the boondocks where businesslike Mumbai is
concerned, but if it is a corporate off-site or a gargantuan convention (the
largest convention room can take over 3,000 standing guests) you want to
organise or impress your clients or dealers, choose the Renaissance. Its
breathtaking views and its setting, amidst 10 acres of landscaped grounds,
overlooking the Powai Lake, with the purple-blue Western Ghats in the hazy
middle distance, are unrivalled, and it is hard to imagine that the city's chaos
begins just outside its gates. The Emperor's Court serves Chinese cuisine and
the coffee shop, the Lakeside Café, serves meals around the clock.

Sahar,Andheri East
Tel: 2830 3030; Fax: 2830 3131
The ITC-Welcomgroup's grand seven-star hotel incorporates in its
architectural flourishes and in its interior design much of the city's colour
and flavour. The signature dome roof is borrowed from historic landmarks like
the Bombay University and Victoria Terminus and the archway in the atrium from
the Gateway of India. But it is the Maratha's F&B outlets that has got
everyone excited. Imported directly from the Maurya Sheraton, Delhi, are its
most famous restaurants, Bukhara (called Peshawari here) and Dum Pukht, which
are already attracting record crowds, apart from Catherine's, a fine-dining
Continental restaurant, and the large lounge-style bar, Bombay High. The Maratha's
crowning glory, however, is its Wellness Centre, a labyrinthine complex of
health clubs, spas, saunas, massage centres, beauty parlours, relaxation rooms
and much more.

Formerly the Oberoi Towers and one of the city's landmarks, the Hilton took
over the property in 2004. Besides a change in the management and the logo,
little else has changed, and chances are that most don't even register the
change. India Jones, the stylish South East Asian cuisine restaurant is marked
by many as the best in the city, and Frangipani, the Mediterranean restaurant is
known for its wood-fired pizzas. Meals are also available at The Verandah in the

THE TAJ PRESIDENT
90, Cuffe Parade
Tel: 5665 0808 Fax: 5665 1201.
The spanking lobby, with an unusual island-style reception area, will
probably be the first thing you notice on entering the Taj President. But what
really sets the President, situated in downtown Mumbai, apart from other luxury
hotels in the city are its restaurants, supervised by the former Prime Minister
of India's favourite person, master chef Ananda Solomon. It is not unusual to
find hordes of the city's who's who, patiently waiting outside Trattoria- 'Tratts'-
the round-the-clock fine-dining restaurant, even at one in the morning, and the
Thai Pavilion has long been acknowledged as Mumbai's most famous Far-Eastern
address. The appams and stew at the coastal speciality restaurant, The Konkan
Café, are to die for, and the Library Bar is another huge draw. Coming to
matters besides the gastronomic, the President's new Lady Executive rooms,
equipped with videophones to screen visitors at the door, attract the women
business traveller.
