Sofitel opens Indian flagship hotel in Mumbai's financial district

Sofitel Luxury Hotels has announced the opening of its new Indian flagship property at the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai's financial district - the Sofitel Mumbai BKC.

The 302-bedroom hotel has been designed by US-based BBGM, with interior designs from Singapore's Miaja Design Group creating a contemporary French atmosphere.

Among the facilities is India's first So SPA by Sofitel, which is housed on its own dedicated floor and offers a full range of treatments inspired by a French gastronomic restaurant.

Signature therapies using Cing Mondes and Gemology products are combined with original music to create a "unique personal experience" for spa visitors.

The spa spans 6,000sq ft (557sq m) and has six treatment rooms - one of which is an exclusive couples treatment/spa area with a private whirlpool.

An outdoor unheated swimming pool and the So FIT fitness centre also feature as part of the hotel, along with six restaurants and bars - including The Pondichéry Café all-day eatery.

"Sofitel Mumbai BKC will introduce Mumbai to a luxurious blend of French elegance and Indian culture," said general manager and Sofitel India area general manager Bernd Schneider.

"We will be a key address combining the best of each country's culture. French elegance, savoir-faire and art de recevoir coupled with India's rich heritage of personalized service, tradition of luxury and depth of culture will provide a backdrop for memorable stays."
