Oberoi Mumbai Has Reopened, Glass Bathrooms And All

Where: Nariman Point, Mumbai, India, 400021

Nearly 18 months after the terrorist attacks, the Oberoi Mumbai reopened on Saturday. Not even the volcano stopped proceedings (although it meant the European contingent couldn’t make it over for the do).

According to the press release:

The hotel has been transformed and will now offer a contemporary, luxurious ambience.

The new pictures do look gorgeous – especially the rooms that look out over the water. The only thing is that, for a business hotel, we’re pretty taken aback by the glass-walled bathrooms (lovely to look at the sea from the bath; not so nice to have your colleague in between).

One of the hotel's new restaurants. We’re thinking Ziya, presided over by a Michelin-starred chef

It’s been nearly 18 months since the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, but while the Taj reopened pretty quickly, the Oberoi has been closed to be completely gutted and transformed. And finally, it’s been announced, it’ll reopen April 24.

According to the press release:

The Oberoi Group’s luxury hotel on Marine Drive in South Mumbai has been completely transformed to offer fresh contemporary interiors, new facilities and the latest technology.

All guest rooms and suites have been renovated, and include spacious marble bathrooms.

Oberoi Wants to Take Charge Of Your Little Monsters

Where: India

This man wants to take your kids off your hands. Let him.

Terrible things, families – they totally mess with your ability to have nice holidays, what with the extra flights, the extra room charges and the extra mouths to feed.

Luckily, the folks at Oberoi want to help you have a posh holiday even with the kiddies in tow, so they’ve just launched their Exotic Family Vacations package for a proper holiday of six nights or more (because families don’t do minibreaks, innit?)

First up, they’ll bung the children (two of them, under 15 years old – though between 12 and 15 years old incurs a supplement) in another room filled with toys and books for free so mummy and daddy can spend some special time together. Then they’ll throw in transfers between the airport or railway station and the hotel, so you don’t have to worry about what little Johnny is doing as you flag down a taxi, a daily yoga session so you can get your karma flowing again, and 25% off spa treatments to keep the stress at bay.
