GHM has expanded its portfolio of luxury hotels around the world with its first property in India.

The Aayu Mumbai, a 42-suite luxury hotel and setting for India’s first restaurants by the world’s most decorated chef Joël Robuchon, and culinary star Hide Yamamoto, is scheduled to open in December 2013.The Aayu Mumbai will claim the top five floors of Kohinoor Square’s Central Tower, the tallest commercial building in the city. The all-suite hotel overlooks historic Shivaji Park and offers sea views to the west, and the island mainland to the east.

Spread over a 5-acre parcel of land and towering 203 metres above the Dadar area of Mumbai, Sandeep Shikre & Associates (SSA Architects) in Mumbai and US-based GKK Works collaborated to design the 50-storey Kohinoor Square complex of office, commercial, retail and residential space that is poised to dramatically redefine the skyline of India’s most populous city.

Interior designer Jaya Ibrahim, who previously partnered with GHM on The Legian Bali, The Chedi Muscat and The Nam Hai, will lend his award-winning aesthetic to The Aayu’s spaces, including its 42 suites ranging in size from 65 to 155 square metres.

Joël Robuchon, named ‘Chef of the Century’ by the Gault Millau guide and the only chef to be awarded 28 Michelin stars, will open his 8th L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon at The Aayu. Serving contemporary French cuisine with artistic flair, L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon will also feature a tea lounge, pastry shop and collection of fine wines handpicked by Robuchon.

Japanese culinary genius and 2010 Global Chef Award recipient Hide Yamamoto will mastermind a second restaurant showcasing new generation Japanese cuisine from its charcoal Robata grill, homemade ramen noodle bar and sushi and sake counter.

“With the involvement of Joël Robuchon and Hide Yamamoto, GHM is redefining the culinary landscape and luxury offering of Mumbai in the same way the Kohinoor Square tower is transforming the city skyline,” said GHM President Hans R. Jenni. “Each of these chefs is an exceptional, world-renown talent. Through their collaboration with GHM, The Aayu will emerge as a new style icon in Mumbai.”

A library lounge and bar, cigar and cognac lounge, exclusive malt bar and capacious boardroom will occupy the 49th floor.

The hotel’s spa will be unmoored from a fixed location, with all treatments conducted in a guest’s room.

The Aayu’s 50th-floor rooftop terrace will be home to Mumbai’s highest bar, complemented by a swimming pool and deck with ocean views, as well as 1,400 square metres of landscaped courtyard.Aside from The Aayu Mumbai, the group is on target to debut two other properties by the end of 2013; The Chedi Club Suzhou in China and The Chedi Andermatt in Switzerland.

India's tallest commercial tower comes up at Dadar, Mumbai

The country’s tallest commercial building is all set to come up at Dadar. Kohinoor Group’s landmark Kohinoor Square, a 203-metre tall building, which is currently in the last phase of construction, has bagged the coveted title. The 52-storey diamond shaped iconic tower is strategically positioned at the crossroads of the East-West and North-South axis, at the very heart of the city.

The tallest commercial edifice in town offers panoramic views of South Mumbai, the Arabian Sea, the Northern Suburbs and the Eastern Port. The Council for Tall Buildings and Urban Habitats (CTBUH) has certified Kohinoor Square as the tallest commercial tower in India as per their database dated October 31, 2012. The CTBUH is internationally known as the arbiter of the criteria, upon which tall building height is measured. With the second best tower way behind at 187 metres (only 16m difference ), Kohinoor Square is clearly a landmark for the financial capital of India. [

Kohinoor Square is the only mixed used development project in Mumbai, offering 40 floors of commercial space, 50,000 sq. ft. of retail space and about 64 residential apartment spaces.

Envisaged by Gkkworks (USA) and SSA Architects, Kohinoor Square ensures sustainable development through Gold LEED rating. The unique structure also incorporates a flagship luxury hotel which rests atop its commercial tower.

Targeting HNIs and big business enterprises, the Kohinoor Square is devised to offer a heady mix of luxury offices, high street galleria, magnificent residences, gourmet food and dinning spaces, at the most strategic location in Mumbai.

“Kohinoor Square enjoys the strategic location with proximity to Dadar railway station and is close to western and eastern expressways. So, apart from being accessible to people travelling by train, it is also close to the Bandra-Worli sea link and both the expressways,” said Mr. Nathan Andrews, Chief Marketing Officer, Kohinoor Square.

The building will also have several other features to facilitate a large number of employees. There will be 48 high-speed elevators along with 12 escalators; a car parking that can accommodate over 2000 vehicles with efficient driveways along with an intelligent traffic management system, a spacious lobby, double height landscaped Sky Gardens and double height Terraces with floor to ceiling glazing on every alternate floor to act as tranquil and refreshing breakout zones.

“In order to have a green building and reduce our energy consumption by over 25 per cent, we have used double glazed reflective glass facades, which restrict the energy from coming in, but let in natural light, thereby reducing consumption of electricity,” said Mr. Andrews.
