Wedding Bells and Big Bills: Mumbai Hotels @ ₹1 Lakh per Night for Ambani Event
This surge in rates reflects the influx of celebrities, business tycoons, and other VIP guests expected to attend the wedding festivities.
The upcoming wedding of Anant Ambani, son of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, is causing a stir not just in the social scene but also in the hospitality industry. Mumbai hotels, particularly those in the upscale Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) area, are experiencing a dramatic increase in room rates due to the high-profile event.
According to reports, some luxury hotels like the Trident and the Sofitel are charging a staggering Rs 1 lakh (approximately $1,250 USD) per night, a significant jump from their usual rates. Even smaller hotels are witnessing a price hike, with rooms costing upwards of Rs 20,000 per night compared to their standard prices. This surge in rates reflects the influx of celebrities, business tycoons, and other VIP guests expected to attend the wedding festivities.
Travel and hotel websites indicate that most of the prominent hotels in BKC are already fully booked for the wedding dates. This limited availability has further fueled the price increase, as hotels capitalize on the high demand for accommodation during this period. While the exact location of the wedding guests' stay remains unconfirmed, the spike in hotel rates in BKC and surrounding areas suggests they will likely be housed in these luxurious accommodations.
The Ambani wedding is known for its grandeur, and this surge in hotel rates is just another testament to the scale of the event. It highlights the significant impact such high-profile weddings can have on the hospitality sector in a city like Mumbai.
