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.

A special thanks to Mr. Dhruv at the palace front desk for his assistance before and during my stay—his support made everything seamless. Mr. Mayank is always welcoming and attentive, going the extra mile to ensure the experience is exceptional. The entire hotel is designed with impeccable taste, offering a refined and beautiful experience throughout.

Stayed in many taj properties but this is special! Not just because how old the hotel is or the history or the architecture but truly it has the great sense of hospitality and culture! You ask for anything and hotel will move heaven and earth, to get you what you want (reasonable stuff). We booked a suite and had complementary happy hour. The pool experience, the breakfast (have it at souk vs sea lounge - sea lounge always have queues for breakfast but souk has better view ).. and any dinning experience is incredible. Best is wasabi restaurant at Taj. It’s expensive than the norm but it’s worth it. Except Tat salt, everything comes from Japan. Special mention - Dhruv- helped us to checkin and then later on helped me to find a lost item, Manthan,- seemed less check in.. took us to a lounge to complete check formality ! Jatin from Wasabi and their manager - Insha (I guess I am taking the wrong name but she moved from Taj Delhi)… regardless of you staying at Ritz Carlton, you step in this hotel, and you will know you are In a different league of hotel.
