Luxury room rates hit the roof ahead of Anant Ambani's wedding
hotels in Mumbai are hitting the roof ahead of Anant Ambani’s wedding this week, with hotels experiencing high demand from July 11-17. The wedding is reportedly on July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).
Only one presidential suite with a king bed is available at The Four Seasons in Mumbai on July 12, for a whopping Rs 5 lakh a night. This excludes Rs 90,000 in taxes.
The Trident in Bandra Kurla has no availability on Booking.com from July 11-12, while the Sofitel Mumbai BKC is available for Rs 66,434 for a night on July 11. The Trident at Nariman Poin is available for Rs 36,875 for July 11, while the ITC Grand Central is available for Rs 25,370. The Oberoi Mumbai is available for Rs 63,130, and Taj The Trees is available for Rs 42,362. A room at the Holiday Inn at the Mumbai International airport is priced at Rs 25,699.
“From the 11th to the 17th, there is a surge in demand for hotels in BKC and even around the airport for mainly chain hotels,” an industry insider familiar with the matter said.
“The Trident BKC is sold out for July 11. A few hotels like the Sofitel, JW Marriott, and The Leela are seeing an increase in prices by 25-30%,” the person cited above said.
A luxury hotel spokesperson said the property was experiencing high demand and rates were up as there are not enough luxury hotels to cater to consumers. “International chains work on dynamic pricing. We are nearly sold out for the week. Suites are seeing high demand because of the high-profile nature of the guests.
