Situated on the rooftop of Four Seasons Hotel, Aer lounge is an absolute heaven to treat yourself. Mumbai is surrounded by Arabian sea and this lounge allows you to get a 360 degree view of the beautiful city from the thirty-fourth floor. This is certainly a must-do in every Mumbaikars list.
So I had been to this place sometime before. We had a swift ride in the elevator that opened its doors directly to this amazing and fantastic place. The panoramic view is simply priceless. There are two sides of the lounge, one facing the sea while other facing the city. We paid a cover charge of Rs. 2500 per head and and ended up with a spacious couch which treated us with a breath-taking view of the sea. The seats are very comfortable and you can see a glittering and shining Mumbai that will make you fall in love with its beauty.
We popped in at 9 pm and trust me the music and the energy had already built-up. Music was undoubtedly the best thing as the DJ did not let a minute go empty without the beats. I was there with my special loved one and the songs and the music played, blended perfectly with the theme.
We ordered some Italian dishes and drinks. The disadvantage is that the food turns cold within minutes due to the weather. However, you can ignore everything for the ambience you experience here. Also, we ordered a dessert platter which had 4 different desserts in it. They were too small to be shared, but we could manage as we were only 2.
The icing on the cake is the Happy Hour that is from 5:30 to 8:00 pm. These hours will fetch you champagne at 50% off of the original price. However, drinks and champagne cost 1000+ which is definitely not acceptable for a person like me who earns not more than average. But again, a single visit will be all smiles and worthwhile. The peanut bowls were continuously filled up once empty and so you always have something to munch on. You cannot miss the Berry Blast there, my personal favourite ?
The staff is very polite and courteous. They will serve you with a joyful face and will not disappoint you.
Few advices:
1) Please avoid separately ordering drinks from their bar. I would suggest just enjoy the ones they provide you under cover charges.
2) Food is very average and so I would say, go there and enjoy the panorama because anyway you are spending pretty much as the base price.
3) To be visited in the night to make your evening a perfect one.
4) RESERVATION is a must. You can obviously stand but that will ruin the fun. We just got lucky to get one that day.
5) Strongly recommend to go with your special one.
So my overall rating goes like this:
Food: 2/5
Dessert: 3/5
Drinks: 4/5
Service: 4.5/5
Hygiene: 4/5
Ambience: 5/5
Experience: 4/5
