At the extreme end of Marine Drive, the city's chimeric promenade, by the Arabian Sea stands the Oberoi Hotel.
There was a time the Taj and the Oberoi were really the only two five star hotels in town. Its old building was called the 'Old Oberoi' while the newer part was simply called the 'new Oberoi'. A couple of years ago, the old Oberoi was rebranded as the Trident, and remains a prominent venue for business and corporate conferences in South Mumbai.
It has a fantastic view of the ocean and both its buildings are connected by a short walk from within the hotels. It is the only Oberoi property in Mumbai and remains the most sought after venue for the city's corporate world.
