Overview
Mumbai is India's most dynamic metropolis — Art Deco boulevards meet bustling bazaars, Bollywood glamour coexists with ancient fishing villages, and the Arabian Sea frames some of South Asia's most iconic skylines.
Hyatt has a Grand Hyatt Mumbai at Category 3-4 pricing. Marriott's JW Marriott Juhu and St. Regis Mumbai are outstanding Bonvoy redemptions. IHG's InterContinental Marine Drive sits directly on the waterfront.
Top highlights include the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (UNESCO), a ferry to the Elephanta Caves, and an evening on Marine Drive watching the 'Queen's Necklace' light up.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Mumbai range from $50 to $268 per night. Points redemptions offer 1.43+ cents per point value.
