Renaissance Mumbai Hotel

Renaissance Mumbai Hotel is where we spend our time. We don't really have a traditional street address listed in our files besides an old email contact, but we are a real place where people stay. Working in a hotel means there is never a quiet moment. There are always beds to be made, guests checking in at odd hours, and the kitchen always has something going on. We don't talk about guest experiences or luxury stays in the breakroom. We mostly talk about who is arriving next or if the laundry is back yet. It’s a lot of standing on your feet and making sure the lights are on and the rooms are clean. Mumbai is a fast city, and the hotel reflects that. People come from all over for business or just to see the sights. We see a lot of different faces every single day. Some stay for a night, others stay for weeks. We try to keep the place running smoothly, even when something breaks or the weather gets bad. It’s hard work, but it’s what we know. We don't have fancy speeches about what we do. We just make sure there’s a place for someone to sleep and eat. Every day is a bit different, which keeps us on our toes. That’s just the life of a hotel worker here in the city. We keep the doors open and the coffee hot.
