About me
Inspired by British Colonial architecture of old Bombay, this luxury hotel in Mumbai is located amidst business & recreational centres in Parel. The colourful patchwork of the city’s cultures – its colonial past, old English charm, modern present and warm Indian Hospitality – fill the hotel with a fabled grandeur. This luxury hotel has 242 guest rooms including 19 suites, non-smoking floors & for single lady travellers, an EVA wing with sophisticated security and building management systems.
Despite its status as one of India’s most cosmopolitan cities, there are parts of Mumbai that have the curious quality of straddling two worlds. They bear the characterful ambience of a timeless past while gently embracing the dizzying here-ness of the present. ITC Grand Central carries forth the culture and builds the character of the place through its fine blend of British colonial style with modern contemporary design.
Parel is one such place. Once a buzzing centre of activity with a large concentration of cotton mills, and prior to that a posh colonial residential settlement where the erstwhile governor of Bombay – Sir William Hornby lived, Parel still bears the old world charm of a bygone era, despite a renewed state of development and now the commercial hub of Mumbai, built to embody the best of both the worlds it inhabits, ITC Grand Central cuts a striking figure against Parel’s skyline. While its tall spire expresses the invincible spirit of enterprise in Mumbai, the cobbled stone-paved characterful Millsquare that forms the pivot of the hotel offers a befittingly charming tribute to the mills of Mumbai.
