That would be truly sad. The area where the two hotels is located is one of the more interesting places in Mumbai......IMO kind of goes down hill from there. The up-scale hotels at the airport are nice, but definitely nothing to do off grounds. A few years ago when Pakistan and India were rattling their sabers at each other and it was getting really hot, we stayed at an airport hotel. The hotels in question are about an hour from the airport and corporate security did not want the crews that far away incase there had to be a hasty departure. A lot of the crews ended up hiring a cab to take them to the Oberoi so they could shop at Chris & Anil's and eat out.
