I recently concluded a whirlwind one-day business engagement in Mumbai, and I must say, the Four Seasons Worli remains the only civilised choice for the discerning traveller. Having booked via American Express, the experience was, from the outset, utterly beyond reproach.
The check-in process was a masterclass in efficiency—swift, seamless, and conducted with that signature warmth. I was delighted to find my room ready upon arrival, and further charmed by a most generous upgrade to a Corner Sea View room. The vistas of the Arabian Sea, particularly as the cityscape begins to shimmer at dusk, are quite simply peerless. The room itself is a triumph of contemporary luxury, providing a serene sanctuary amidst the vibrant energy of Mumbai.
The culinary offerings were equally impressive. Breakfast at San:Qi is a veritable tour de force; the spread is nothing short of magnificent, featuring an array of global delicacies executed with culinary precision. Even the in-room dining—often a lackluster affair elsewhere—was delivered with impressive punctuality and an uncompromising standard of quality.
A particular highlight of my stay was an evening spent at AER Lounge. I hosted a few business contacts for a late-night meeting, and the setting was absolutely sublime. Despite being a popular haunt that usually requires a prior booking, the staff were wonderfully accommodating to me as an in-house resident. We retreated there at half-past ten for cocktails, which were masterfully mixed and truly world-class. What was intended to be a brief hour of shop-talk evolved into a thoroughly delightful evening, as we found ourselves captivated by the ambient lighting and the panoramic views, remaining until the final call at 1:30 AM.
Every detail, from the crispness of the linens to the 'express' nature of the check-out, was handled with 'white-glove' precision. For a flying business visit where time is of the essence, the hotel’s ability to anticipate one's needs is a godsend. It is rare to find an establishment that balances such high-octane efficiency with such genuine grace. I shall certainly be returning on my next trip to the subcontinent.
