Abode Bombay – A Favorite for Families in Mumbai

Abode Bombay is the first socially responsible luxury boutique hotel in Mumbai. The hotel employs female-only taxi drivers and spa services operated by visually impaired therapists. Guests can contribute to the local community through donations available at checkout.

Each of the 25 rooms contains custom-built furniture and carefully restored vintage decor sourced from local markets. Rooms include organic cotton bed linens and en-suite bathrooms, with select options featuring shared toilets that are well-maintained. The hotel occupies a restored colonial building with high double-height ceilings and original architectural elements.

Complimentary gourmet breakfasts blend modern favorites with local specialties, including a changing Indian dish each morning. The hotel houses a Subko Coffee kiosk in the lobby, a local specialty chain serving top-rated coffee. Breakfast includes eggs cooked to order, fresh fruit, cereals, sourdough toast, and masala chai.

The hotel sits in the Colaba district, 100 meters from the Gateway of India and a 2-minute walk from the Taj Mahal Palace hotel. On-site tours include an early morning tour of newspaper distribution, vegetable markets, fish markets, and laundries. Guests can book a half-day city tour, street food tour, or a guided trip to the Elephanta Caves.

A treatment room offers massages and Hatha Vinyasa yoga classes available on weekends. The on-site library provides books and board games for guest relaxation. A 24-hour front desk assists with currency exchange, private check-in/out, and tour desk services.
