The LaLiT Mumbai, a true symbol of luxury, inclusivity, and cultural richness, proudly completes two decades of redefining the hospitality landscape. Known for seamlessly blending India’s vibrant heritage with modern-day elegance, the hotel continues to set new benchmarks in service, design, and diversity.

With Asia’s largest seven-story atrium lobby, The LaLiT Mumbai doubles as a living museum, showcasing masterpieces by artists like Satish Gujral. Art and culture have always been at the hotel’s core, offering guests an immersive and enriching experience far beyond the ordinary.

Through the years, The LaLiT Mumbai has evolved to match the changing preferences of guests. From tech-led upgrades to culinary innovations, it remains ahead of the curve. The Unified Flavours of The LaLiT brings together iconic dishes from the brand’s 12 properties. Signature dining experiences like Baluchi offer regional Indian cuisine, OKO brings authentic Pan-Asian delights, and The LaLiT Boulangerie celebrates European pastry craftsmanship.

Since 2015, Kitty Su has redefined Mumbai’s nightlife. More than a club, it’s a celebration of freedom and self-expression. Hosting renowned drag artists including Violet Chachki, Alaska Thunderfuck, Laganja Estranja, Elista, and Rani Ko-He-Nur, its #PURELOVE nights are a powerful tribute to inclusivity and identity.

Further enhancing guest experiences, Spiceology Spa draws from India’s rich wellness traditions, blending indigenous spices and age-old techniques to offer holistic rejuvenation.

Over the years, The LaLiT Mumbai has also earned its place as a trusted venue for dignitaries, business leaders, and landmark events. From hosting the Best Sommelier of India competition in collaboration with ASI and SAI to welcoming G20 delegations, the hotel continues to reinforce its status as a luxury icon.

Crucially, its commitment to inclusivity stands out. The LaLiT Mumbai actively employs people from marginalized communities—LGBTQIA+ persons, neurodivergent individuals, and acid attack survivors—making every guest interaction deeply meaningful and welcoming.

“For 20 years, The LaLiT Mumbai has been more than a hotel—it has been a home for travelers, a platform for artists, and a model for inclusivity. As we move forward, we remain committed to offering ‘Distinctly LaLiT’ experiences where tradition meets innovation,” said Mr. Nishchint Pathania, General Manager, The LaLiT Mumbai.

With a legacy built on excellence, social responsibility, and forward-thinking luxury, The LaLiT Mumbai continues to shine as one of India’s most iconic hospitality destinations.

In a major boost to gender inclusivity in the hospitality industry, the Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council (THSC) has successfully completed its women empowerment initiative, announced during its 10th anniversary celebrations in August 2024. The project, aimed at skilling and placing 150 women, has achieved full implementation, with all candidates now employed across prestigious brands like Hilton Hotels, The Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, Deltin Casino & Resorts, Raffles Udaipur, and Ritz-Carlton Bangalore.

Each participant has secured jobs with a monthly starting salary between INR 15,000 to INR 25,000, enabling them to embark on dignified and sustainable career paths in the formal tourism and hospitality sector.

Following the program’s resounding success, THSC has announced an ambitious expansion—the initiative will now scale up to train 300 more women in 2025, reinforcing the council’s long-term commitment to gender empowerment through skill development.

"Placing 150 women across India's top hospitality brands is a proud milestone for us," said Mr. Rajan Bahadur, CEO, THSC. "This initiative goes beyond job creation—it represents transformation, empowerment, and the promise of a more inclusive workforce."

The initiative offered training for key hospitality roles such as Guest Service Associate – Housekeeping, Front Office, and Food & Beverage Service. In addition to technical training, candidates also received soft skills training in communication, teamwork, and workplace etiquette, ensuring holistic preparation for their professional journey.

Ms. Jyoti Mayal, Chairperson of THSC, added, "Empowering women through skill development is not just a mission—it is a movement toward a more equitable and progressive industry. This initiative shows how skills can truly transform lives."

The program’s success was made possible through strong industry collaboration, with placement support from leading hospitality brands and operational support from The Job Plus, whose on-ground execution played a crucial role in achieving the program’s objectives.

As THSC steps into a new decade of skilling excellence, this initiative serves as a powerful example of how focused efforts, strategic partnerships, and a shared vision can shape a more inclusive and empowered future for India’s hospitality sector.
