Sahara Star is the most expensive hotel in India

By Vipin Agnihotri



It’s official. Sahara Star hotel just 100 meters from Mumbai’s Santa Cruz domestic airport is India’s most expensive suite at Rs 4 lakh a night.


There is no doubt that the hotel's magnificence blended with Indian mysticism epitomizes hospitality and stands deeply rooted in Indian traditions and culture. In my opinion, Sahara Star personifies the spirit of progressive India.


The room rate of the presidential suite of Sahara Star, which is spread over 12,000 sq ft, is exactly double as compared to most of the other costly suites in India. For example, the Taj Mahal Resorts and Palace charges Rs 2 lakh per night for its presidential suite. On the other hand, Sheraton Hotel charges Rs 1 lakh per night.

In terms of features, the 55,000 square feet tropical lagoon of Sahara Star sets the stage for magical moments. In addition, Sahara Star boasts of world’s largest pillar-less clear-to-sky dome of its kind. Nature finds abode in Sahara Star with India's largest marine aquarium that is home to plenty of wonders of marine life.

If experts are to be believed, Sahara Star is all about a style quotient that one wants to make. The main concept is to give the clients the ultimate in luxury, besides the comfort to function well. In general, the Sahara Suite truly personifies the word 'grand'. What’s more, Sahara suite also features an exclusive and personalized spa station equipped with floatation tank. Furthermore, there is a lounge on the topmost floor that has a clear-to-sky glass roof.

Despite its costly nature, it is worth pointing that the Sahara Suite is actually cheaper than presidential suites elsewhere in the world. As a matter of fact, the cost of presidential suites worldwide ranges between Rs 6 lakh and 10 lakh. For example, the Palms in Las Vegas offers 9,000 sq ft area, including three bedrooms, poker table and private gym at the princely per night price of $25,000.
