Holiday Inn, Mumbai offers a welcoming space
Strategically located near Mumbai’s international airport and within quick access to the city’s prime business hubs such as Andheri, Powai and the Bandra-Kurla Complex, Holiday Inn Mumbai International Airport (HIMIA) has carved a niche as a preferred address for the corporate traveller. In a city where time, convenience and connectivity define success, the hotel has positioned itself as more than just a transit stay – it has become a hub, where business and lifestyle intersect.
What sets the property apart is its ability to balance the efficiency that business travellers demand with the experience that modern professionals increasingly expect. “With contemporary rooms, high-speed connectivity and adaptable meeting spaces, the hotel aligns with the rhythm of global executives,” explains Subhrajit Bardhan, GM, HIMIA. “At the same time, its culinary flagship, Saptami, has emerged as a dining destination in its own right, hosting thematic festivals and curating gastronomic journeys that attract both corporate and local clientele. The hotel also leverages chef’s pop-ups, outdoor catering for corporates (ODC) and curated menus designed exclusively for business clients, strengthening its value proposition for enterprise accounts.”
The hotel’s banquet and event spaces are major differentiators, making it a strong choice for corporate gatherings, conferences and social celebrations. Holiday Inn, Mumbai, has successfully hosted marquee events such as the Miss India beauty pageants, gems & jewellery exhibitions and Times group events, further underscoring its reliability as a venue partner. The property is also actively targeting corporates across industries like banking & insurance, pharma, IT, FMCG, as well as EMCs, travel agents and wedding planners – especially for MICE-related business. With flexible layouts, modern technology and expert support, the hotel remains a trusted partner for both large-scale events and intimate business functions.
Rise of ‘bleisure’
Importantly, this positioning resonates with broader industry trends. Business travel in India is rebounding strongly, with Mumbai leading the resurgence as a gateway city. The rise of ‘bleisure’ travel – where professionals extend work trips into leisure stays – is reshaping guest expectations. Travellers today seek hotels that offer more than just functional convenience; they look for properties that provide wellness, culinary diversity, and lifestyle-driven experiences alongside corporate essentials. Holiday Inn, Mumbai, fits squarely into this evolving narrative, serving the needs of transient executives, long-stay professionals and local residents looking for premium staycations.
“I typically stay at the property once a month,” affirms Rajiv Bhalla, MD, WEY Technology, who has been staying at the Holiday Inn as a guest since 2012. “Proximity to the office has been the prime reason for me to stay in the Saki Naka area. What draws me back to HIMIA time and again is the genuine warmth and personal attention that define every interaction. The team’s eye for detail, paired with their cheerful and effortless service, creates a sense of comfort that’s rare to find. The service culture at Holiday Inn is defined by genuine warmth, attentiveness and a ‘guest-first’ spirit that truly makes you feel at home. More than a hotel – it’s a welcoming space that feels like home, defined by smiles and service that stay with you.”
In doing so, Holiday Inn, Mumbai, is not just tapping into the city’s transient corporate traffic but also strengthening its reputation as a brand that understands the pulse of India’s most dynamic metro – a key differentiator in a competitive hospitality market, and one that reflects the larger transformation underway in the Indian travel and hospitality sector.
