S3E7: The first Modern Hotels in Bombay | Bombay Born 7

Bombay did not have respectable hotels even during the 1850s. There were some taverns but they did not attract the respectable folks, who usually found accommodation with friends or family. An enterprising Parsi set up the earliest modern hotel in Bombay with an in-house restaurant. I take up the early History of Hotels in Bombay in episode 7 of the series Bombay born. The episode focuses closely on the Watson’s Hotel, the first five-star hotel, as it were, in India, which is also where cinema, or moving images, was screened for the first time in India in July 1896. In fact, I begin with the advertisement about that very event.
