Hotel Marine Plaza, Mumbai

29, Marine Dr, New Marine Lines, Churchgate, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400020, India (show on map)

Hotel Marine Plaza is a standout 5-star boutique property located right on the iconic Marine Drive, often called the “Queen’s Necklace.” Opening in 2002, the hotel occupies a prime stretch of Mumbai’s shoreline. One of its most fascinating architectural achievements was the transformation of an existing residential structure into a luxury hotel without full demolition—a complex feat managed by the firm Reza Kabul Architects.

A true highlight of the hotel is its unique glass-bottom pool located on the rooftop. Because the building’s original internal atrium lacked an open-air ground level, the designers cleverly used the pool as a natural light source to illuminate the atrium below. It remains a signature feature that offers both a refreshing swim and a stunning, unobstructed view of the Arabian Sea.

The property maintains a classic, sophisticated atmosphere, notably housing “Geoffrey’s,” an English-style pub that has become a local institution. Guests can enjoy a mix of Indian, Oriental, and international cuisines while soaking in the coastal scenery. The rooms, many of which are sea-facing, are designed with tasteful Indian accents to complement the maritime surroundings.

Its location is perfect for those who want to experience the soul of South Mumbai. You are within walking distance of the historic Flora Fountain and the Rajabai Clock Tower, while the majestic Gateway of India is just a short drive away. Whether you are walking the Marine Drive promenade or exploring nearby art galleries, the hotel serves as a stylish, comfortable anchor in the city.

Expert reviews

CNN review:

“With a breathtaking sea view, lights along the bay, and a flower-laden pool terrace, Hotel Marine Plaza’s Allamanda terrace really is hard to resist. The Art Deco interiors hold another sweet spot — its five-story atrium, with enthusiastically English pub, Geoffrey’s, adjacent to it on the ground floor.”

Very good

Loved being on Marine Drive-heavy traffic but a lovely walk along the art deco buildings and the sea wall. Handy to the university area with great architecture.

Had a meal in Geoffrey’s our first night, not great. Plenty of good restaurants within 15 min walk.

Comfy & accommodating stay.

Location was very good, even if you could not see too much of it due to smog. Lovely staff. We had a miserable problem with a hotel driver pick up from the airport arranged through the hotel. The hotel was very apologetic & accommodating regarding the fee for the pick up & arranged every detail on our return trip to the airport.

Very call bedroom & bathroom, but the room was comfortable & met our needs.

Confortable but over priced

Location. Spacious rooms with all amenities. Breakfast

We booked the hotel because it offered a rooftop bar and swimming pool for New Year’s Eve. We enquired a month before arrival about New Year’s entertainment and was told that they offer various alternatives. When arrived we were told the rooftop was closed due to a private function with the only other alternative was a pricy bar.

Great location, very helpful staff. Food at breakfast was good. Views from.the pool / terrace were worth a visit to the top floor!

Had to hold the shower head as there was no hook at the right height (I think this little thing shows how.good the rest of the stay was!)

A good choice with great access to good restaurants around the corner

I have been at this hotel many times for short stays. It is an excellent choice. Staff are great breakfast is great.This last time however the room allocation at the back of the hotel was not up to the standard, particularly since the price was the most expensive I have ever paid.

Rooms facing the adjacent building at the back have no view and are overlooked by next door apartment residents. At the very least should be offered at some significant discount.

The staff disrespected my father who was there to celebrate his 81st birthday. We never came to hotel to get insulted by your staff and security. They were pathetic. What did they gain by insulting an 81 year old man who had only come there to stay to celebrate his 81st.

Wonderful stay with really super tasty breakfast but very expensive despite extended stay.

Excellent well-rounded breakfast although the coffee gets stale once the pot is down to %50 and the tea needs to be less milky to be able to enjoy its flavor and aroma.

Price for extended stay, the rate was offered was current despite extending the stay and ending up staying for almost 3 weeks! Spending the amount we did for 3 rooms for this much duration should warrant some benefits to make it better value for the travellers and convince them to come back to Marine Plaza and not go anywhere else.

A comfortable stay in the heart of Mumbai.

The location is one of the best in Mumbai for a Sea facing room. The breakfast options were good with a mix of Indian and English dishes. They have a small pool on the terrace with a bar. The Sunset view from the terrace is mesmerising. The fruit basket and wine bottle was a pleasant surprise.

Fantastic - would definitely recommend.

The hotel was extremely clean, the staff very friendly and decorated very well. The view from the roof terrace was fantastic and general area was very nice. Great location for visiting Gate of India and getting boat to Elephant Island.

The restaurant food was excellent but a little on the expensive side (from what I'm used to whilst living in India). There was a private party on the roof terrace/pool so I didn't get to spend much time there unfortunately.

Enjoyable, in the main we were greeted warmly each time when we left or returned to the hotel.

The room was spacious with plentiful supplies of water and toiletries provided. The bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows and duvet were divine.

The bathroom was rather dated having a shower over the bath rather than a separate shower cubicle. Also there wasn't a lift directly to the floor where breakfast was served, lift had to be taken to lobby and then stairs used to access the restaurant, this would make it difficult for people with mobility problems to stay at the hotel.

Lovely stay by the bay

We stayed in the Superior and Executive rooms and they were quite spacious. The rooms were clean and we had no dramas with any of the amenities. We enjoyed the rooftop views and quick access to the bay and nearby restaurants and shops. It's also close to tourist attractions and the train station. The buffet breakfast was fantastic and the highlight of our mornings.

The pool was a little bit of a letdown, it was quite small and I realised that you can see the bottom of the pool from the lobby.

Quite pricy for this type of hotel

The location was excellent and all the staff we came across were very helpful and obliging. The room was large and comfortable but the aircon kept making noise which the hotel was unable to repair. Overall the hotel in general needs updating especially the bathroom and the bath towels which were not good to say the least.

As above
