Westin Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott Bonvoy&rsquos portfolio of 30 extraordinary hotel brands, continues to propel its footprint in India with the opening of The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake. Embracing the brand&rsquos foundational pillars of Eat Well, Move Well and Sleep Well, the hotel features signature brand programs that empower guest to regain control and maintain their holistic well-being while they are on the road.
Set on the scenic shore of Lake Powai in Mumbai, the hotel features 600 guestrooms with spectacular views of the Hiranandani skyline overlooking the tranquil waters of the Lake. Well-being meets style as The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake&rsquos design philosophy takes inspiration from the concept of Biophilia, which posits that people have an innate need to connect with nature, and that our link to the natural world affects our well-being.
&ldquoWe are excited to bring the second Westin property to Mumbai. There is an increasing demand for wellness travel and The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake is set to expand the brand&rsquos signature wellbeing offering to locals and global travellers,&rdquo said Neeraj Govil, Senior Vice President Operations, Asia Pacific excluding China. &ldquoThe Westin Mumbai Powai Lake is set to be a part of Marriott International&rsquos portfolio of 127 hotels in India and further compliments our commitment to growth in the region, bringing a diversified portfolio for different types of travellers.&rdquo
The hotel experience comes to life through the brand&rsquos six pillars of well-being &ndash Sleep Well, Eat Well, Move Well, Feel Well, Work Well, and Play Well &ndash allowing guests to personalize their stay and engage in programming that meets their needs. Guests can enjoy brand signatures such as the iconic Heavenly® Bed, and refreshing amenities including White Tea Aloe Heavenly® Bath products and Sleep Well Lavender Balm to promote a revitalizing rest. The expansive Quan Spa has been designed to prioritize guest&rsquos well-being with six treatment rooms (launching later this year) and a tranquil outdoor pool. The state-of-the-art WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio offers world class equipment, overlooking the breath-taking views of the Powai Lake. As a part of the Move Well program, our Run Concierge anticipates guest&rsquos wellness routines and ensures that individuals maintain their workout regimens while travelling as well. To translate this on ground, the hotel has a 2km scenic track across 15 acres of lush greenery around the Powai Lake helping guests physically unwind.
The new hotel offers guests opportunities to indulge in the brand&rsquos Eat Well offerings &ndash as seen in all four dining venues. The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake offers a host of culinary experiences created by renowned chef &ndash Gautam Mehrishi who&rsquos known for his inept knowledge and skills with Indian cuisine. With trendsetting menus and authentic flavours, the Indian specialty restaurant, Nawab Saheb serves signature dishes inspired from the Northern Indian Frontier and royal Mughal era.

Mumbai Express is the deli where guests can enjoy a wide selection of gourmet foods, healthy bowls and beverages perfect to grab and be on the move.
The Work Well offerings help guests to stay productive on the road. Smart, thoughtfully designed workspaces make collaboration easy and effortless while they are away from the office.
