I have stayed at the Leela (now owned by Kempinski and closest to the airport)...many, many times. Its considered pricey by some Indians I know, but is comparable to US hotels in price and has excellent
Comparable? Any bombay hotel is a good $75..$100 costlier than comparable hotels in San Francisco. Or hell, in Tokyo for that matter, at times. And I've stayed at the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins at the top of Nob Hill, ditto the Intercontinental at Bombay. While the bombay one is quite nice there's a certain something about the Mark Hopkins (nothing much at all going wrong) that attracts me to it .. especially as I get to stay there at rather cheaper rates than usual ($199 rates negotiated by the conference I usually go to is a steal)
