THE Park Mumbai eschews the trappings of the starry suburb it is located in, to embrace the best of the neighbourhood — its staggeringly beautiful sunsets, its sophisticated heart and its love for everything glittering and fun. Sans the bling.
From the top level of THE Park Mumbai, the sweeping view is of the golden sands of Juhu beach, the glittering fashion and lifestyle stores of Juhu Tara Road and a quaint old bungalow, one of the few left on this stretch. However, the view within is likely to be as beguiling as the one outside — once it is complete, the rooftop terrace lounge will hold a sunken bar and a pool, set to the backdrop of one of Mumbai’s best sea views.
“There is no rooftop lounge or party place around here,” says director – operations Rahul Makhija. “It will be one of our strongest properties for attracting non-guests or locals.” The eye barely skims the traffic on the busy Juhu Tara Road before moving to the golden beach sand, where guests of THE Park can go for a morning walk or a yoga session, armed with a beach kit thoughtfully provided by the hotel. As we walk out of the lounge and explore the suites on the top level, which will be separated by a door that can be accessed by guests of the hotel with a key, he says, “The regular room size we offer at the hotel is about 309 sq.ft, unlike other hotels in the city, where they average at 250 to 270sq.ft.” As I look down from the window of one of the suites, I see a flourishing Peepul tree that forms a leitmotif for the hotel. “We use some of the Peepul leaves to leave little goodnight notes or chants for guests during turndown time or on checkout,” says Makhija.
