India: Fresh Aer at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai


Designer furniture from Tokyo, Middle Eastern dips, champagne cocktails, global deejays … If you don’t look down from your perch at Aer (114 Dr. E. Moses Rd., Worli; 91-22/2481-8060; fourseasons.com), you’ll never guess that you’re in Mumbai. Occupying the entire 34th-floor rooftop of the Four Seasons hotel in Worli, the new alfresco space bills itself as the highest lounge-bar in town, if not all of India. Luminous jigsaw chairs and a spotlit Ross Lovegrove Love Bench add to the glam, though it’s the views—twinkling city lights and the vast sweep of the Arabian Sea—that are the real scene stealers. –David Tse
