Mumbai during the rains isn't just a season, it's a feeling. While many embrace the lush season by trekking up mountains and camping under the stars, there are others who prefer staying inside and soaking in the snuggle weather. If you're part of the latter category, then imagine reveling in the monsoon beauty while indoors in the most luxurious way possible. Commuting to work during the rains and bustling through the day-to-day can leave anyone fatigued. Fortunately rejuvenating doesn't have to mean travelling too far so don't worry about applying for leave. A weekend staycation at Marriott Executive Apartments in Powai, Mumbai is enough to dial up your bliss and make you feel like you're far out of the city when you're actually still very much in it. From its many services for residents to its recreation secrets, here are the highlights on #SheSays to bookmark when you check in to the Marriott at Powai in Mumbai.

Location
Tucked away in the lush greenery of Powai is where Marriott Executive Apartments is located within the premises of the Westin hotel in Powai. The room offered a magical view of Powai lake, which looked divine on a clear morning as well as a gloomy evening.
Room Amenities
The room within the luxury complex is where the difference lies between a hotel room and these executive apartments. Stunningly furnished in a modern style, it included a modular kitchen, a living room with a large sofa and TV set and dining area. Inside lies the bedroom with a spacious closet and sleekly decorated bathroom with a shower. Large bottles of toiletries ensured that you wouldn't need to request for more within a day or two; which is a thoughtful touch when you're on a long stay. The kitchen had adequate counter space and was perfectly furnished with a convertible oven, chimney, gas range, electric kettle, built-in full size fridge and even a dishwasher. Those who prefer cooking their meals won't have to worry as their equipment is taken care of. There is a shared laundromat available on the floor for residents, complete with a washer and dryer. Here's where the luxury of a hotel room comes in. You can request for room service if you need tasks like your bed being made and floor being swept taken care of.
Hotel Amenities
Marriott Executive Apartments has its own pool within its complex, which is surrounded by shrubbery and offers adequate privacy when swimming. It also has the delightful addition of a recreation room, set with a carrom board, table tennis and foosball table to fill the enjoyable hours of the evening away from the screen. It makes for a wonderful way to spend time with your family or friends in a non-digital way. The morning's buffet breakfast offers a wide spread of continental and Indian cuisines. There's also a dedicated section for juices, pastries and bread with live stations for eggs, parathas and dosas for a piping hot meal. As the apartments are located within the premises of The Westin, which is a short stroll away, one can avail the services of the hotel's spa or pool, which is larger compared to that of the Marriot. Between both properties, there are a number of restaurants and cafes to visit when you feel like eating out without leaving the peaceful premises. Nawab Saheb, a contemporary Indian restaurant, is a special favourite for a night out that's just minutes from your apartment.

Swirlster Says
The highlight of Marriott Executive Apartments is its offerings that allow a resident to live independently while still being pampered. A weekend at the property is a treat for all the senses but don't blame us if you're tempted to stay longer. With a long list of amenities within the room and in the complex as well, long stays will be a breeze and short stays will leave you wanting more.
