Trident Bandra Kurla
Mumbai's skyline from a serene poolside retreat
About this hotel
Travelers checking in for the skyline will find the Trident Bandra Kurla's outdoor swimming pool a serene vantage point. Perched above the city, the pool terrace offers a refreshing escape with panoramic views of Mumbai's urban sprawl. As the golden hour approaches, the city lights begin to twinkle, transforming the vista into a dynamic canvas. Couples and small groups can unwind by the poolside, enjoying a quiet moment or a cocktail from the adjacent bar, watching the metropolis come alive. The ambiance shifts from a sun-drenched haven to a sophisticated evening lounge, making it an ideal spot for a pre-dinner drink or a relaxed evening under the stars. The uninterrupted city view from the pool deck is a defining feature of the stay.

Our take
Trident Bandra Kurla is a five-star base for business in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex, with an outdoor pool open year-round and city views around it. Rooms are adults-only, which keeps the atmosphere calm, and the fitness centre, bar and restaurant serving Indian and international dishes cover the rest. A 9.1 rating from more than 2,800 reviews is excellent. I would book it for work trips that end with a quiet evening swim, not for a family holiday or a lively rooftop bar.
- ✓Head to the outdoor pool in the late afternoon to catch the transition from daylight to the illuminated Mumbai skyline.
- ✓Consider a refreshing dip in the year-round pool during the warmer months for a unique perspective of the city.
- ✓Enjoy a quiet evening cocktail at the bar adjacent to the pool, perfect for a relaxed end to your day.

Why guests love itIn town for back-to-back meetings in the Bandra Kurla business district, a lawyer chose the Trident for its adults-only rooms and quiet pool. Each evening she swapped her laptop for the outdoor pool, watching the surrounding towers catch the last light, then had a drink at the bar before dinner at the restaurant. Weekends meant a slower morning swim. She found the setting calm and composed, good for recharging, though not the place for a lively night above the city.
