The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower

Mumbai, India

Star rating

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.

Our stay was a surprising stay i.e. it was not planned at all. Indeed when I called the Front Desk before Check in, Duty Manager Mr. Ananda helped me a lot in terms of reserving a GRAND MARATHA Suite. I really aprpeciate his kind understanding and help. Infact he, Ananda, took care of me and my wife very nicely i.e. from Welcoming, to Food at Loya, to Heritage Tour by Mr. Percey (Very unique and Passionate Personality!), till the Check-Out! His attention and caring was beyond words. At Lobby level, Mr. Rajesh Barik (Buttler) also was very Good. He took care of smallest matters nicely. No doubt the GRAND MARATHA Suite is an unique Suite with best-in-class interiors and Luxury. Compliments to TAJ Group in Maintaining the same. In short, it was REJUVENATING, PACIFYING, CARING, TOUCHING, FUN-FIILLED, and LOVELY stay at TAJ MAHAL PALACE!! Many many thanks to Mr. Ananda and his Team!! With regards, Dr. Tansen Chaudhari and Mrs. Pallavi Chaudhari Read less

Highly recommended for anyone looking for true luxury and comfort. I liked this hotel very much. Dining was top-tier, especially the breakfast buffet and the fine dining restaurant. The amenities — including the spa, rooftop pool, and gym — were world-class.
