Having welcomed its first guest in 1903 in what was then Bombay, The Taj Mahal Palace remains a celebrated city landmark, a firm favourite among visiting dignitaries, Indian maharajas and Hollywood royalty.
An integral part of Mumbai’s history, The Taj Mahal Palace is considered one of the finest hotels in all of India. Adorned with antiques, silk carpets and twinkling chandeliers, it delivers impeccable standards of service in a grand setting. Whether you choose to stay in the historic Palace Wing or the newer, more contemporary Tower Wing, all rooms and suites at the Taj Mahal seamlessly blend old world charm with modern facilities. Most enjoy exquisite views over the Arabian Sea, the Gateway of India monument or Mumbai’s rooftops.
The hotel itself has an enviable waterside setting in south Mumbai, with close proximity to many heritage sights. Inspired by ancient Indian healing wisdom, the Jiva Spa offers the ideal sanctuary after a long day’s sightseeing, but you can also refresh with a dip in the huge outdoor pool. The Taj Mahal Palace also lays claim to the best high tea in Mumbai, and a plethora of restaurants and bars that serve up everything from Japanese seafood to modern Indian fine dining.
