The hotel

From the first impressions of the grand red-domed building that towers over the Gateway of India and the sparkling Arabian Sea, to the opulent design as you enter the lobby - you'll be wowed throughout your stay here. In the heart of the city, you're well postioned to explore the historic landmarks or to carry out your business ventures. After a sweaty day in the city, returning to the pool will feel heavenly, and you can chill by the poolside bar and cool down with a refreshing drink and a bite to eat. You certainly won't go hungry at this hotel, with options from fine-dining Japanese cuisine, to casual dim sum in the bar, and everything in between. With a butler service on-call at all times, anything you need to arrange whilst staying here won't be a problem, and if you opt for a Club Room or suite, the extra benefits are well worth it.

Despite mentioning that the stay is for my son's birthday, there was no birthday greetings or a token gift for him. For triple occupancy, the hotel had run out of extra bed. As compared to our stay at Umaid Bhavan, Jodhpur, we found this Taj Luxury experience not up to the mark. Read less

Being a true Mumbaikar , have always been in love with this Hotel from childhood. However never had an occasion to stay here as Mumbai is home. So when my flights got cancelled due to India - Pak war on 7th early morning, we decided to check in to Taj Mahal Palace for my wife’s special 60th birthday!!! We loved the experience including food at Golden Dragon, Sea Lounge, Loya 😋 Pool side experience watching the JRD story and having couple of drinks was also great as we really got good service from the poolside bar associates. Thank you team Taj Mahal Palace for making Madhavi’s 60th very special. 😁 Read less
