The Oberoi, Mumbai

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose it for a South Mumbai base where Arabian Sea and Queen’s Necklace views meet easy access to the city’s business and cultural districts.

About the hotel

At Nariman Point, where Marine Drive curves around South Mumbai, The Oberoi looks out across the Arabian Sea and the Queen’s Necklace. Opened in 1986, it is a contemporary city hotel whose appeal is closely tied to that waterfront outlook: rooms and suites frame the sea, bay or city, while a central atrium brings natural light into the interior. Its position also puts business districts, cultural venues and shopping areas within reach.

Choose it if

You want your South Mumbai stay anchored by sea and bay views rather than by a resort setting.
You need a base near Nariman Point’s business district, with cultural venues and shopping also nearby.

Skip it if

You are looking for a secluded resort setting rather than a hotel in central, urban South Mumbai.

Rooms range from garden-facing accommodation to selected rooms and suites with private or semi-private pools; the grounds, architecture and lake views shape the stay as much as the rooms do.

Viceroy Santa Monica

Santa Monica, United States

BeachCoastal

Viceroy Santa Monica is a 169-room hotel on Ocean Avenue, a short walk from the beach and Santa Monica’s pier-side attractions. Its coastal-leaning rooms and suites look toward the ocean, pool or city, while the outdoor spaces—two pools, a patio and open-air cabanas—give the property a distinct poolside social life. Sugar Palm adds indoor-outdoor dining and a wraparound bar. The scale is substantial enough for a full-service stay, but the experience is centered on the coast rather than a sprawling resort.
