Spent one night here on a business trip. I stayed in the main old part of the hotel. The whole experience was superb. We had a buffet lunch with the business group I was in out with, on a large balcony area and the food was really nice. The pool, bar, reception and shared areas of the hotel were a... More

We didn't stay at the hotel but we did eat at the sea lounge and had drinks at the harbor bar. The food at the sea lounge was excellent. We had the buffet which was amazing! Tons of different desserts! The harbor bar was a bit over priced for drinks but the environment was worth the extra rupees. Both restaurants... More

We had a two night stay at the Taj Palace Hotel and we were upgraded to the Palace itself. It is a great shame that whoever trains the staff at this hotel do not train the staff at every top hotel. Every employee that we encountered could not do enough for you without being obsequious in any way. Their attention... More

Stayed in Taj Mahal on business (I work for a TATA Group company) and got upgraded from the Tower to the Palace. Have to agree with other reviews: This is easily the best hotel I have stayed in ever, and I have travelled quiet a lot on business over the years. The reception, lobby, pool area, many restaurants and Palace... More

First about the property. Staying in this hotel and that also the heritage wing is like living through history. My experience of Taj experience started right from the airport pick up. The transfer service was perfect and my check in process was smooth which was done in few minutes. My suggestion is when a guest is checking for the first... More

This beautiful hotel, which was the terrible scene of a terrorist attack in 2008, is now fully restored and opened. Seeing this former palace is an experience unto itself. Wonderful staff, accommodations, restaurants. Beautiful floral arrangements throughout.Not to be missed, if in Mumbai (Bombay).

We kept the best for last on our India trip and were not disappointed. The Taj Mahal Palace was beautiful and the facilities and service superb. We stayed in the Tower with a sea view room.

We arrived in Mumbai on April 11th 2013 and were not too jet lagged to be completely amazed by the Taj Palace. We were in a Luxury Grand Sea View room on the 2nd floor, overlooking the Gateway to India. The bed was super comfortable and, although I always travel with a down pillow, I didn't need to for this... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The history of Mumbai and The Taj Mahal Palace are dramatically intertwined. The hotel is Mumbai’s first harbour landmark (built 21 years before the Gateway of India) and the site of the first licensed bar in the city.

Today it is a Leading Hotel of the World and favourite destination for discerning business travellers. A treasure-trove of invaluable memorabilia, there is a story to tell behind every pillar, a landmark deal in every boardroom, and a storied celebration under every awning. Come be a part of the legend.Overlooking the Gateway of India with a panoramic view of the bay, every one of the 560 rooms including 44 suites are the perfect blend of rich history and modern convenience. ... more   less
