An environmentally certified five-star in Hiranandani Gardens, built around a naturally lit atrium with a rooftop pool and Ayurvedic spa.
Meluha The Fern is the flagship of an Ecotel-certified Indian hotel group and takes its name from an ancient reference to the Indus civilisation. The building is organised around a tall glass atrium that floods the corridors with daylight and cuts artificial lighting loads, part of a wider sustainability programme covering water recycling, waste segregation and low-energy systems that has earned the property a long list of environmental awards. Rooms are generously sized for the price band, with the Fern Club category adding lounge privileges. Facilities include a rooftop pool, a spa offering Ayurvedic massage and Western treatments, a well-equipped gym, and meeting rooms that serve the Powai technology and consulting firms. Dining centres on a multi-cuisine restaurant, a lounge bar and a patisserie, with vegetarian and Jain options prepared as standard rather than on request. The hotel stands on Central Avenue in Hiranandani Gardens, so the neoclassical arcades, cafes and shops of the district are on the doorstep, Powai Lake is a few minutes away, and the airport is a thirty-five to forty-five minute drive.

When to visit
November to February is the best stretch in Powai, when the lake air is dry and evening temperatures drop enough for terrace dining. Corporate demand from the Hiranandani business district keeps midweek rates firm in winter, while June to September monsoon weeks bring both green hillsides and the lowest rates.
Accessibility
Step-free entrance and lifts to all floors, with accessible rooms available; the rooftop pool is reached by lift.
