WHEN IN MUMBAI...
STAY
The Taj Mahal Hotel: One of the most iconic hotels and buildings in Mumbai. Close to the cool art districts and amazing market places with a view of The Gateway of India.
The Oberoi: Another iconic hotel of Mumbai, also located close to The Gateway of India.
The Four Seasons Hotel: Located in an area known as Worli, this hotel is close to the south of Mumbai which is where a lot of the attractions are, as well as the cooler shopping and cafe suburb of Bandra.
EAT
The Table: Fresh food and amazing desserts, there is nothing that you will not enjoy on this menu.
Peshawari: For great Indian food - a super famous spot.
GhajaliL: Mumbai is known for it’s street food and this restaurant specifically for its crab!
Su Casa: Tapas style fusion food
Pali Village Cafe: Amazing artistic vibes
Sea Lounge: This is a lovely little spot located in the Taj Mahal Hotel. I highly recommend AGAINST eating from the street and instead coming to Sea Lounge to try famous Bombay Street food!
DO
Visit the local markets like Chor Bazaar and the Dadar Flower Bazaar.

Explore the arts district of Mumbai, Kala Ghoda (with lots of beautiful cafes and famous stores, including Sabyasachi, a renowned Indian fashion designer). Also check out Bungalow 8 - a great curated store!
Visit Bandra and visit the local boutiques. I highly recommend a store called Deme by Gabrielle (one of my personal favourites).
