The rooms at the Grand Hyatt Mumbai come with few surprises – they are comfortable enough, they have all the mod-cons any business traveller might need, and the service is professional – but what marks this out as one of our recommended places to stay in Mumbai is its excellent range of restaurants and bars.

It goes without saying that China House is a must-eat – and is covered more extensively in the restaurant section of this guide – but also worth mentioning is 55 East. A casual eatery with a super-attentive staff and smart ‘cut-away’ ceilings that bounce light around the restaurant, this is where you should book when you need a break from Indian cuisine. Lebanese, Thai and Japanese dishes are cooked to perfection, often by native chefs, and the choice of dishes is overwhelming. Open cooking stations and a huge dining area adds to the atmosphere. So long-story-short – stay at the Grand Hyatt Mumbai for the food, less so the boutiqueness….
