With quite a few of Mumbai's five-star hotels changing their approach to entice the evolving diner, Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai in Worli is the latest one to jump on the bandwagon for all good reasons. One that boasts of inclusivity in every sense because it caters to every kind of diner that wants to have a good experience as they enter the hotel lobby only to be met by a dining space that almost represents your living room -- inviting and cosy, with a touch of opulence. So, what really prompted this change that occupies a part of the once large lobby? Nitesh Gandhi, general manager at the five-star property, explains, "The decision to open Opus in the hotel lobby was driven by the area's natural abundance of sunlight, which creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day.
By transforming the lobby into a food and beverage outlet, the hotel aims to provide a seamless and elegant dining experience for their guests." Even as Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai boasts of AER Lounge, their rooftop bar on the 34th floor and Modernist, the exclusive member's club on 33rd floor, Gandhi says with Opus, they want to build a brand-new identity and menu at the property. “This makes for a wonderful opportunity to present a fresh new iteration of our food and beverage perspective,” Gandhi explains.
In a city that never sleeps, he adds, Opus fills the gap in Mumbai's luxury dining scene with its 24/7 operation. While the city is known for its roadside late-night hotspots in other parts.
