The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company plans to open the first Ritz-Carlton in Mumbai and the second in India following the recent opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore in Karnataka.
The 238-room hotel will overlook the Mumbai skyline and is expected to open in early 2017. Designed as a tribute to modern India, the hotel will honor its traditional past and form part of a mixed used development in a high-rise tower with luxury residential spaces. A second tower has been designated for luxury residential condominiums managed by Ritz-Carlton.
Architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates will imagine the glass and steel exterior while New York-based Tony Chi will take inspiration from Indian culture for the sleek interiors.
“We have been searching for the perfect location for a premier hotel in Mumbai for several years,” says Herve Humler, president and COO of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. “This site offers everything hotel guests could want-a prime business location, stylish and contemporary design in this historically rich and vibrant city.”
