Bay View Rooms

The water here is Back Bay — working harbour rather than open sea. From a high floor the seawall curves away to the left and the whole of Marine Drive goes with it, and at about 7 in the evening the sodium lamps start switching on from the Chowpatty end until the entire curve is lit. That is the Queen's Necklace, and this is the first grade in the hotel with a claim on it.

Inside, it is the same 37 square metres as the two grades below: king bed, silk armchair, writing desk, walk-in wardrobe, standalone bathtub. What you are paying for is the window. Two adults, and room for up to 2 children under 12 with them.
