Oberoi Hotels & Resorts plans to reopen its Mumbai hotel on 24 April 2010. The company has spent close to $40 million (about Rs 170 crore) for the reconstruction of the hotel.

In the revamped Oberoi, the number of rooms has been brought down to 287 from 327, which are bigger and upgraded with latest technology. The suites have increased from 22 to 73.

The hotel will now have three restaurants, a lounge and a bar. 'Kandahar' is now 'Ziya,' the new Indian speciality restaurant; the earlier 'Tiffin' has been replaced with Fenix. Vetro is the contemporary Italian restaurant, with also a glass encased wine library 'Vetro's Enoteca'. Also, the hotel will have 'Eau Bar', which will serve beverages and have a live jazz band performance in the evenings. 'Tea Lounge' just off the lobby is now the 'Champagne Lounge' and will have a range of champagne and teas for guests.

The meetings and conferencing facilities have also been upgraded. An outdoor heated swimming pool, The Oberoi Spa and a fitness centre will also be available to guests.
