Taj Mahal Palace Tower: A real dream   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Taj Mahal Hotel, Mumbai, situated on the waterfront, is a gracious landmark facing the Gateway of India. It was built in 1903 by the Parsi industrialist JN Tata, supposedly after he was refused entry to one of the city's European hotels because he was "a native". It's a magnificent structure that exhibits Moorish influences and it is crowned by a grand red-roofed dome. It's worth a peek at the hotel's interior. Especially the grand central stairway and the internal galleries, which were once exposed to the elements to aid ventilation. The Taj is also worth visiting to see the Mumbai elite in their element.

  • All the international airlines stay in this hotel, like Alitalia do ( I was guest of it). the hotel and the service is perfect, there are suite room looking to the sea, and there is a new part looking to the swimingpool. The hotel have many different restaurants, from traditional to international, trought one of the best Japanese in the world! All the accomodation of a luxury hotel! There is a disco very crowded on sunday where all the young hig class of Mumbay go to spend some hours dancing international and indian music. But this is not my choice cause I prefer simply and clean hotel, I don't want to leave the total ammount of a annual indian family money for a bad and a shower!

    Taj Mahal Palace Tower: NOT my favorite Bombay hotel   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Taj is a gorgeous old building on the outside. Its restaurants and shops are about as glittery and expensive as it gets, the pool area is lovely and gracious, and for decades the Taj has served as the social venue of choice for Bombay's creme de la creme. However, staying at this hotel is a bit of a rude shock, particularly considering that it's one of the most expensive in the city. The Taj's rooms--both the renovated and the unrenovated wings--are quite disappointing, with ugly or shabby furniture and carpets that should be burned. If only the hotel's management could furnish and maintain the rooms as well as they do the rest of the property!

    The biggest positive about the Taj is its location, directly across from the Gateway of India (get a sea-facing room here too!) and within walking distance of most of the good sightseeing in Bombay.

    Taj Mahal Palace Tower: Old world charm   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • My first visit to Mumbai was when it was still known as Bombay. I remembered it fondly as my friends and I bumped into Goldie Hawn and Sally Field, and they stopped to say hi to us! At that time, we had wandered around the Taj Mahal hotel to see what's so great about it and was very impressed. I told myself then that I will stay there on my next visit. My wish came true! This hotel is so full of history and is extremely grand. I feel like a queen living during the colonial times and were waited on hand and foot. My room was huge with a separate breakfast patio facing the sea, separate dressing room and a big bathroom. My bed was a four poster king size (but of course!) and the service is excellent.

    Old world charm to relive the romance of the British era Prime location, near the sea, Gateway to India and shopping. Fabulous pool and great rooms Wonderful English breakfast An in-house ghost (yup, I'm not kidding). My boss was haunted by it 2 nights in a row but he found it amusing.

    Taj Mahal Palace Tower: One of the world's best   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Opened in 1904, the Taj Mahal Hotel consists of two wings: the original, much renovated, and the tower. I know nothing about the tower. The original ranks among the finest hotels I've ever stayed in. Like the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro -- which it far outclasses -- this is the place to stay if you have money to burn ... or just want to splurge.

    1. Great views of the Gateway of India. 2. Gourmet restaurants: continental, Chinese, Mughal. Also a fine coffee shop (with a complimentary breakfast). 3. World-class service. (The duty manager personally escorted me to my room.) 4. High-speed internet access in the business centre. 5. Good shops, with reliably high quality merchandise. 6. Excellent location near the heart of the historic, cultural, shopping, and business sectors.

  • We did not actually stay here but had a tour of the premises. My daughter stayed here a few years ago and was impressed by the facilities and service.

    The view was of the Gateway of India and the bay. IThe hotel was built by Tata . He was once refused entry to a hotel and vowed then to build a hotel to equal or better than to that which had ejected him.He ended up founding a chain of hotels and became a captain of industry. He got an Italian architect to design the hotel. When the hotel was finished the architect committed suicide on discovering that his main entrance , instead of facing the sea,actually faced a small back lane.

    In my opinion this is one of the best hotels you can find anywhere on the planet. The location is unuquely placed on the see, right opposite the Gate of India, the monument through which the last english soldier left the country after indipendence. The service is esquisite, people are extremely friendly and helpful, and not everyone begs for tips ,as I was told, but some are happy just with a smile. The room I managed to book was the cheapest of the lot, at 200 us, not cheap for sure, but worth the while, guaranteed ! The tv set is a plasma 42inches plus monster, bathroom has a giant shower for 6 people ( not tha t I needed it so big, but one never knows...). Swimming pool, fitness gym, massages the ayurvedic way, cocktails of tropical fruit and an outstanding service make of this place a must to try at least for one night in your life ! After all, why spend 50 bucks for a filthy room and spend 4 louzy days, when you can have one of the best nights in your life ? Quality, not quantity, please! One thing I loved was to be called by name any time i placed a call to reception, these are a kind of details that make you walk out with a smile..... See you again, Taj Palace, and a special thank to Benazir, the manager, was so helpful and friendly ! Luka

  • Hallways in the original building -- inaugurated on the 234th anniversary of Beethoven's birth -- are furnished with antiques and works of art.

    One of the three or four finest hotels I've stayed in anywhere.
