Here at iTravel iSh­op, we’re huge fans of the shopping in Mumbai- especially stores like Bungalow 8, Atmosphere and Ravissant. But because it is one of the most chaotic cities in the world, to keep their sanity, visitors need to be able to retreat to a luxurious hotel at the end of the day. While the city has a fabulous Taj hotel, the newest big contender in town is the just-opened Four Seasons Mumbai. It’s located in the Worli area, which is close to the financial district. There’s a fleet of BMWs to whisk guests to and from the airport, as well as around town. The hotel is housed in a 33-storey glass tower and overlooks the Arabian Sea, while the guestrooms are the largest in the city. There’s also a two-storey spa. ­Four Seasons Mumbai, 114 Dr. E.

Mumbai is one of the most dynamic and chaotic cities in the world. It is the centre of the Bollywood film industry as well as the Indian Stock Exchange, but most visitors come here for one reason: to shop.
