The beauty of five-star hotels, even if you don’t frequent them, lies in the memories of special occasions the venue etches on the mind. When we visit Hilton Mumbai International Airport Hotel, flashes from a notorious cocktail party make a picturesque visual.

After 24 years, restaurant café The Brasserie has gone under the knife — for its menu and decor. The journey from the lobby to the restaurant is down a winding staircase amplified with a jhoomar. Below, a modern seating lightens in concept and colour palette, aping the green openness of the pool area outside. Banana-leaf-shaped lamp shades, soft green seating covers and an earthy vibe welcomes natural light during lunch time.
