Dining

• While the hotel provides multiple dining outlets (restaurants and bars) catering to a luxury stay, I did not find a very detailed breakdown in my sources about a specific rooftop bar or named lounge with city views (as you had for Chicago).
• Guest reviews highlight strong breakfast spread and multiple cuisines covered.

What Makes It Special

• The combination of luxury in an airport‑adjacent setting: If convenience and high‑end staying matter (rather than a view of a lake or city skyline), this hotel delivers.
• Modern, new‑looking property (guest reviews mention “new paint”, “modern and new” feel) which can be attractive for travellers wanting fresh interiors.
• Excellent for business travellers or those arriving/departing via Mumbai airport, or staying for a short window.
• The “Fairmont Gold” level adds that luxury‑upgrade feel (butler service, lounge access) for those wanting elevated experience.

Top Tips

• If views matter, consider booking a room with airport or pool view — you’ll get light + interesting vantage (especially runway/airport).
• Given the airport‐adjacent location, if you’re sensitive to noise (takeoffs/landings) maybe check for sound‑insulated rooms, or request a higher floor.
• For downtime, book a treatment at the Blu Xone spa – perfect after a long flight or busy day.
• If travelling with family, check the kids‑friendly services and meal options (reviews mention good family stays) so you’re set with all amenities.
• If you want more “tourist scene” (culture, sightseeing, lakefront) rather than staying just near the airport: consider staying here for convenience but plan a separate outing into central Mumbai (Marine Drive, Colaba, etc).
• For an upscale treat, go for the Fairmont Gold level to enjoy lounge access and added services.

Final Thoughts

Fairmont Mumbai is a luxury urban sanctuary optimized for convenience and modern comfort rather than dramatic lake/skyline vistas. For travellers landing or departing via Mumbai, or for those whose focus is business + luxury amenities rather than sightseeing views, it’s a strong choice. Families, couples or solo travellers who prioritise high‑end service, spa/fitness amenities and a newer property will find this hotel appealing.
