Where to stay in Mumbai
Mumbai, the right part of town.
The old south for the sights, Bandra for the scene, Juhu for the beach, the airport belt for the flight. The city's traffic decides between them.
Both open in a new tab. Rates, dates and reviews are there.
Still need the flight?
An agent prices every airline flying to Mumbai on your dates, with bags and seats included, and you hear the total before anything is charged.

Where visitors stay in Mumbai
Mumbai runs north to south along a narrow peninsula and the drive from one end to the other can take two hours. South Mumbai, Colaba and Fort, holds the heritage sights and the grand hotels; Bandra is the leafy suburb with the cafes, the sea face and the film-industry crowd; Juhu has the beach and the big hotels on it; Andheri and the Bandra-Kurla Complex hold the business hotels near the airport; Powai is the lakeside corporate district.

Good to know
- Pick by what you will do most
- The airport is in the north, the sights are in the south, and the two are 90 minutes apart in traffic. Do not try to split the difference.
- The monsoon changes everything
- June to September brings flooding and delays. If the dates are flexible, November to February is dry and comfortable.
