The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the food and the regal lobby, but often disappointed by the tired condition of the standard rooms.
Itc Maratha
$150-250/ nat
Bestil hvis You have a layover in Mumbai or business in Andheri and want a palace-style cushion between you and the chaos.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Incredible culinary lineup including the legendary Peshawri and Dum Pukht
- Opulent Maratha-inspired architecture that feels like a destination, not just a transit hotel
- Proximity to CSMIA airport (literally 5-10 minutes away)
Hurtig oversigt: A grand, aging beauty with world-class food that struggles to hide its worn edges in the base-tier rooms.
Anmeldt af @tanustylesse: I felt like absolute royalty staying here. The room was incredibly spacious, but my favorite part was sneaking down to the Fabelle boutique for late-night chocolates. If you're in Mumbai to relax, the spa treatments here are non-negotiable.

Reality check
The service can be a toss-up between 'royal treatment' and 'slow/indifferent,' especially during peak check-in/out times when the lobby gets chaotic.
- You are a foodie who wants to tick off India's best restaurants without leaving the building
- You have an early morning flight and refuse to deal with Mumbai traffic
- You appreciate old-school, heavy-curtain luxury over modern minimalism
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
8
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, but recent reviews cite missed dust in corners and stained quilts in older rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but aging; grout lines in Executive Club rooms can look tired. ITC One bathrooms are sparkling.
- Maintenance: The biggest weak point. Reports of peeling paint, creaky doors, and cracked sinks in the base-tier rooms.
- Linens & towels: Standard luxury quality, but check your duvet cover for spots upon arrival.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature fragrance (frangipani/spice), but some hallways have a musty/damp smell common in Mumbai monsoons.

Før du booker
Godt at vide
- The 'Service Charge' on restaurant bills is discretionary but added by default; you can ask to remove it, but it may require a conversation.
- Security is tight; expect airport-style bag scanners every time you enter the hotel.
- Uber pickup can be tricky at the airport; the hotel's paid transfer is expensive but seamless.
Hvad skal du pakke
- Earplugs (just in case you get a runway-facing room)
- Swimsuit (the pool is surprisingly nice for an airport hotel)
- Formal wear (dining at Dum Pukht or Peshawri is an occasion)
Værelses-genie
Bedste valg

Værelser at undgå

“I am requesting a room in the ITC One wing or a high-floor Towers room facing the pool/garden. Please avoid the Executive Club wing if possible as I am sensitive to noise and dated interiors.”
Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is it really walkable from the airport?
No. While it looks close on a map, the roads are not pedestrian-friendly. Take a cab or hotel transfer.
Which restaurant is the 'must-try'?
Peshawri. It serves the same legendary Dal Bukhara as the ITC Maurya in Delhi. No cutlery allowed—eat with your hands.
Is the pool open 24/7?
No, typically 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. It's an outdoor pool and can get busy.
Does the hotel smell like smoke?
Most rooms are non-smoking, but some guests report lingering smells in older 'smoking allowed' floors. Request a strict non-smoking floor.
Is there a lounge for business travelers?
Yes, the 'Upper Crust' lounge is for Towers/ITC One guests, offering complimentary cocktail hours and breakfast.
Can I use the spa without staying there?
Yes, Kaya Kalp spa is open to non-guests, but book well in advance as it's popular with locals.
Insidertips
- ✨
Buy the Fabelle chocolates at the boutique in the lobby—they are world-class and make better gifts than duty-free.
- ✨
If Peshawri is fully booked, ask the concierge if you can order the Dal Bukhara via room service (sometimes possible).
- ✨
The 'Sleep Boutique' offers a pillow menu and sleep sprays—call housekeeping to access it.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'Butler Service' in ITC One is often just a fancy name for a dedicated phone line, not a person standing by your door.
💡The bathtub height in some older rooms is unusually high—tricky for guests with mobility issues.
💡You can hear the morning prayers from nearby mosques in certain rooms.
💡The lobby air conditioning is set to 'arctic'—bring a layer.
💡The 'Garden View' rooms sometimes just look at a patch of grass near the driveway.
