The Oberoi Trident is a complex of two hotels at Nariman Point in Mumbai known as the The Oberoi hotel and the Trident, Nariman Point hotel. They are both owned and managed by the Oberoi Hotels & Resorts. The two hotels are separate buildings, but are connected by a passage.
The hotels were initially known as Oberoi Towers/Oberoi Sheraton. The hotel was named as the Hilton Towers during the marketing alliance between Hilton Hotels Corporation and the Oberoi Hotels & Resorts which lasted from 2004 until April 2008. On April 2008, the hotel was again renamed to Trident Towers. [1]
