The occasion marked the launch of India’s largest hotel, by number of rooms. Speaking on the launch, Patanjali G Keswani, Chairman & Managing Director – Lemon Tree Hotels, said, “I am delighted to announce the launch of Aurika, Mumbai Skycity, our largest project to date. Located close to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (Terminal 2), this deluxe hotel has 669 rooms and suites and is currently the largest hotel (by number of rooms) in India. This is our third hotel under the Aurika Hotels & Resorts brand, as well as our third hotel in the global city of Mumbai, and I believe that this addition will help to fulfil the increasing needs of both business and leisure travellers to the City of Dreams. This launch also brings us one step closer to our goal of bringing our total inventory, including operational and to be opened, to 20,000+ rooms, in the next four years.”
As has been the practice with its predecessors – Aurika, Udaipur and Aurika, Coorg – Aurika, Mumbai Skycity too is rooted in local culture and heritage. This hotel pays tribute to Mumbai’s iconic architecture and cinematic history, offering a unique blend of the past and present. While the hotel maintains an international and universal feel in its spaces, it also incorporates subtle luxury and the distinct Mumbai flavour. The design seamlessly blends elements from different cultures, creating an ambiance that is both inviting and captivating.
The hotel features Mirasa – the all-day dining restaurant, Ariva – the bar, a Tea Lounge, a speciality restaurant, and extensive banquet facilities, including the ballroom and multiple boardrooms.
