The ITC Maratha is Mumbai’s airport luxury hotel, in the Sahar district of Andheri East, about a five-minute drive from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. It is the practical choice for late arrivals, early departures and short stopovers, and a good base if your plans lean north, towards Film City and Sanjay Gandhi National Park. The hotel has an outdoor pool with a children’s pool, an on-site spa, and five restaurants, among them the destination Indian restaurants Avartana and Dum Pukht and a coffee shop, so you can eat well without leaving the property. Rooms are large and calm, designed to shut out the airport and city noise. South Mumbai’s sights are a long drive away, so it works best as a bookend to a trip or as a comfortable base for a quick visit.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Sahar, Andheri East, a very short ride from the airport. The hotel does not list an airport shuttle, so ask the hotel about transfers when booking. Reaching the Gateway of India, Marine Drive or the CSMT area takes a long drive that can easily exceed an hour in traffic, so plan South Mumbai days with a driver or a taxi and avoid the rush hours. The Bollywood studio at Film City and Kanheri Caves are far closer by comparison.
Rooms
The hotel is a Luxury Collection property with spacious rooms and suites, large bathrooms and a calm feel. Higher categories add more space. Ask for a quiet side of the building if you are a light sleeper.
Who it suits
Travellers with early or late flights, business visitors based in the airport area and families who value the pool. If your trip is mainly South Mumbai sightseeing, the Colaba and Nariman Point hotels will save hours of transit.
Good to know
The outdoor pool and children’s pool are open from 6:00 to 20:00. The spa offers reflexology, aromatherapy and sports massage. Check which restaurants are open on your dates, as some fine-dining rooms close on certain days and need booking ahead.
