Le Meridien Mahabaleshwar Resort and Spa  

Perched in Old Mahabaleshwar, this luxury mountain spa resort sits about 5 km from the city center. It's minutes from Wilson Point, Mahabaleshwar Bazaar, Polo Grounds and Bombay Point, with Krishnabai Temple, Arthur's Seat and Mapro Gardens nearby.

Set on 27 acres of evergreen forest, rooms and suites feel contemporary and calm with private balconies, pillowtop beds and minibars. Expect deep soaking tubs, separate showers with rainfall heads, LED TVs and sweeping valley or infinity-pool views—wake up to misty valley mornings.

Relax at a full-service spa and sauna, plunge into two outdoor pools plus an infinity pool, or work out in the fitness center. The hotel also has a poolside bar, three bars/lounges, an arcade/game room, elevator, laundry and safe-deposit boxes; free valet parking is available onsite.

A business center and express check-in keep things efficient. Wired and wireless internet access is available (surcharge).

Dine across three on-site restaurants and a café, sip drinks at the poolside bar or one of the lounges, or use 24-hour room service for late-night cravings.
