JW Marriott Hotel

Frommer's Review

Designed by the renowned architect Bill Bensley, the opulent JW is Juhu's most luxurious hotel and top choice if you choose a hotel by the quality of its in-house dining. Lotus Café, the sprawling 24-hour coffee shop at the bottom of the split-level lobby, is a popular hangout with the local trendy crowd, who enjoy its consistently good daily buffets; authentic Italian food is found at Mezzo Mezzo; and BBC (Bombay Baking Company) is quite simply the city's best bakery. Set over five floors, the guest rooms are comfortable, with modern, albeit rather predictable, decor and amenities; each has some kind of sea view, though most are side views. The best aspect of the hotel, aside from its dining, is the expansive tropical seaside garden, with torch-lit pathways, a lotus pond, and Indian sandstone sculptures crafted by artisans from Rajasthan. It's also got two wonderful pools, as well as a well-equipped fitness center and spa -- definitely required after all the extra calories you're likely to consume at BBC while staying here.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; bakery and cafe; bar; nightclub; pool; kids' pool; fitness center/spa; personal trainer; concierge; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; babysitting w/advance notice; laundry service; dry cleaning; doctor-on-call
