The Sofitel Mumbai BKC is located at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) – the burgeoning financial district of Mumbai. Geographically in the centre of the city, BKC has excellent access to both major highways in Mumbai as well as the domestic and international terminals of Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. The area is also conveniently located to explore tourist attractions in both South and North Mumbai. With the National Stock Exchange, Consulates, international schools, corporations, major banks and the Bharat Diamond Bourse – the world’s largest diamond trading centre, the immediate area around the hotel is fast developing into a business hub for Mumbai.

Sofitel Mumbai BKC has been meticulously designed by the architects at BBGM (U.S.A), with interior designers at the Miaja Design Group (Singapore) led by Isabelle Miaja, a renowned French designer. The hotel design embraces modern and elegant interiors creating a French contemporary feel with a blend of Indian colors, shapes and patterns. Marble and chandeliers for the lobby, design and elegance for the bedrooms with state of the art technology for the business center, the Sofitel Mumbai BKC intends to become a key address in the city.

All 302 rooms including 31 suites, feature the exclusive MyBed™ concept, an all-feather bed combined with an extra-light down duvet promise a perfect night’s sleep. A pillow menu, sustainable practices, custom-designed furnishings, L’Occitane en Provence and Hermès room amenities enhance the luxurious design for bedrooms and suites.

The Club Millésime, our Club Floor, offers an executive lounge and bar with indoor and terrace seating. Inspired by the French ‘Art de Recevoir’, this exclusive club features express check-in, evening canapés, an exclusive selection of wines, butler services and many other special benefits.

InspiredMeetings™, Sofitel’s meetings concept, is dedicated to making every event an unforgettable success. From an experienced meeting planner and concierge to a dedicated chef, every detail is tailor-made to perfection; events inspired by the client and staged by the hotel.

A dedicated floor hosts India’s first So SPA by Sofitel, fully devoted to the well-being of body and mind.
