From Rooftop Views to A Members-Only Space: Step Into Four Seasons Mumbai

In the vivid tension between Mumbai’s past and its rising future, Four Seasons offers a refined sanctuary that is minimalist in form, rich in intention. Its design pays quiet tribute to the city’s textile artistry, while its experiences immerse guests in the metropolis’s boundless energy. In perfect harmony with Mumbai’s shifting rhythms, it offers a sleek, sophisticated sanctuary for the modern traveller. 

Nestled in Worli, the hotel occupies a strategic spot in the city’s commercial heart. It serves as the perfect base for guests who want to explore iconic landmarks like the Gateway of India, experience the Mahalaxmi Race Course or venture into the city’s thriving art districts. Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai is easily accessible via Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, located approximately 24 km away or a 30-45 minute car ride. 

A Subtle Reimagining of Timeless Interiors

When Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai opened in 2008, its designers, John Arzarian of Lohan Associates, along with LTW Designworks, Atelier Pond, and Bilkey Llinas Design, crafted interiors that whisper to the city’s textile heritage. This was once a district of industrious mills; today, it hums with inventive bars and culinary exploration. From its 35-storey vantage point, the hotel overlooks the Arabian Sea and the Mahalakshmi Race Course, crowned by AER, the reimagined rooftop bar renewed in 2023, offers a perspective where the city feels both intimate and infinite. That year, the hotel’s guest rooms were reborn. Echoes of traditional sarees—geometric borders, intricate motifs, and rich colours—flow through the interiors, lending a sense of regal poise. Modern technology has been seamlessly integrated, enhancing the luxury experience while allowing the design to remain the quiet star.

Guests also have access to a wellness centre that includes a spa, yoga studio, and fitness centre. The design marries a sleek modernism from the West with the traditional glamour of the East. With landscaped gardens, their rooftop lounge, the careful attention to detail, a member-only club and several other amenities, the space feels like a haven in the midst of a bustling city.
