subject: Colorful, Flavorful Mumbai: Finding Mumbai Hotel Accommodation [print this page] The sights and sounds of Mumbai are the stuff of legend from exquisite dining and rich history to dynamic culture and fast-moving business. This city on the move is truly a delight for all the senses. As the largest film producing city in the world, Mumbai generates a lot of business and job opportunities for those who have the talent! Founded as a trading post, Mumbai also focuses on the business of making wealth. It plays an extremely significant role in Indias economy. But the city is not just commerce, ambition and trade; it's also a city for the pleasure-seekers. Brimming with gourmet restaurants, clubs and tourist attractions, Mumbai thrives with life throughout the day and during much of the night. But once youve had your fill, what accommodation in Mumbai will you head back to?
Finding Mumbai hotel accommodations isnt difficult, though choosing a hotel that meets your needs can be a bit of a challenge, especially if youre a first-time visitor. Start by deciding on North or South Mumbai.
Also known simply as Town, South Mumbai is where the elite go to meet. This side of the city has all the places of historical importance, wide roads, hundreds of high-rises, the most luxurious accommodation in Mumbai, swinging bars and restaurants, and an eclectic mix of wealthy residents.
But then theres the up-and-coming North Mumbai. As people spread away from South Mumbais increasing cost of living, outlier towns like Juhu, Bandra, Chembur, Powai, Vashi, Jogeshwari, Santa Cruz and Khar came together to become what is now known as North Mumbai. This exciting district now boasts sprawling residential colonies, high-tech corporate spaces (Bandra-Kurla Complex), hip nightclubs and restaurants, multiplexes, malls and world-class luxury hotels. It is quite natural for a South Mumbai resident to never feel the need to visit the other side for weeks and vice versa.
On either side of town, youll find everything from locally-owned properties to some of the most popular hotel chains in the world, with many features, amenities, deals and locations to choose from.
