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/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You have a layover in Mumbai or business in Andheri and want a palace-style cushion between you and the chaos.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- 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)
Kurzfassung: A grand, aging beauty with world-class food that struggles to hide its worn edges in the base-tier rooms.
Bewertet von @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.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
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
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
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.

Vor der Buchung
Gut zu wissen
- 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.
Was Sie einpacken sollten
- 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)
Zimmer-Genie
Beste Auswahl
- ITC One rooms (newer, better soundproofing, butler service)
- Towers Wing (dedicated lounge, generally better maintained than Executive Club)
Zimmer, die Sie meiden sollten
- Executive Club rooms on lower floors (often the most dated and prone to noise)
- Rooms facing the main road/entrance (traffic noise)
Zimmerwunsch-Genie – kopieren & einfügen
“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.”
FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
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.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
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 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡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.
