AR Residency

For a cheaper night in Mumbai, AR Residency in Juhu keeps costs down while staying within reach of central Juhu.

About Juhu: Six kilometres of sand, the city's best small theatre, film-industry bungalows, and beachfront hotels that trade view for commute. All hotels in Juhu →

What it is

From here, Mumbai's main attractions — including central Juhu — are an easy walk or short ride away, so you spend less time in transit and more time exploring.

Rates shift with the season and with demand, so the live price on the booking page is always the one to trust — tap through for tonight's or your dates' real availability.

Where it sits

AR Residency is in Juhu, at Rsc 02 Mhada Layout Andheri West, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 7 km from Terminal 2, 22 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 9 km from the Bandra Kurla Complex.

Road times in Mumbai are not a function of distance. Modelled at the city-wide average of about 17 km/h, that is roughly 24 minutes to the airport, 77 minutes to Fort and 32 minutes to BKC — add half again in the evening peak, and take the train instead wherever the route allows. These are modelled figures, not measured ones.

What is included

The property lists 14 facilities. The ones that decide a booking are grouped below; anything unusual — early check-in, a late departure, a desk that takes a laptop — is worth confirming when you book, because listings and reality drift.

Staying in Juhu

Juhu Tara Road is the beachfront: full-service hotels at ₹14,000 to ₹28,000 with pools, real meeting floors and shuttle services, and sea-facing rooms worth the ₹3,000 premium if you are only here two nights. The second row — Gulmohar Road, Juhu Church Road, Janki Kutir — offers boutique hotels and serviced flats at ₹7,000 to ₹12,000 in quiet bungalow lanes, five minutes on foot from the sand and next door to Prithvi Theatre; this is where I would actually book. The Juhu Circle end towards Vile Parle drops to ₹5,000 to ₹7,500 but you are on a permanently congested junction. Avoid the cheapest guesthouses immediately behind the beach on the Juhu Koliwada side: fine by day, poorly lit at night, and further from anything than the map suggests. Rates roughly double between 20 December and 2 January.

More on the neighbourhood, including how to move around it and what is worth walking to, is on the Juhu page.

What it costs

The most recent snapshot we hold for AR Residency starts at about ₹2,200 a night, against a median of about ₹4,800 for the Juhu hotels on our list. That is a snapshot, not a quote: Mumbai rates move with the trade-fair and wedding calendars, and the same room can double in the week of a large event.

November to February is the expensive season and the comfortable one. June to September — the monsoon — is the cheapest, and the rain is less of an obstacle than people expect if you plan around the mornings.
