The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower | Mumbai, India | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Mumbai, India

5 stars

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.

“Great experience”

Oct 11, 2026arkhealthcare

As you would expect the hotel and service was fantastic. This was my first visit to India in many years and Mumbai can be busy and overwhelming. I would like to make a special mention to Nikita Shah who took the time to sit down with us, ask us what we wanted to experience in Mumbai and produced an absolutely brilliant itinerary. She took into considerations our dietary requirements and recommended a lovely food place we would never have found even after countless online searches. It's individuals like her that make the whole experience personalised and wonderful. I sincerely hope management read this review and give this feedback to her.

“Shopping in India”

We had an unforgettable stay at The Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai! The hotel is absolutely stunning, with timeless elegance, luxurious interiors, and exceptional attention to detail. The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive, making us feel truly special throughout our stay. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, and the views of the Gateway of India and the sea were breathtaking. The food and service were excellent, reflecting the hotel’s outstanding hospitality. Every detail made our experience memorable. Truly an iconic hotel that combines luxury, history, and world-class service. We would definitely love to return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mumbai!

As a Taj member, this was my second visit, and once again, the hotel, its heritage, and many of its wonderful people made the experience truly special. Room housekeeping service was excellent. Special mention to Prakash and Avinash, who were attentive and thoughtful throughout our stay. Avinash, in particular, ensured that we had the pillows of our choice during the stay. Wasabi gave me a superlative dining experience. Special mention to Ishana and Crosswin, who were amazing and made the experience even more memorable. Loya remains my personal favorite when it comes to food and service. The team is simply awesome when it comes to treating their guests. Ansh, Chui, Adrian, Chef Atharva, and Rashmita deserve a special mention for their warmth and hospitality. The food was delectable, and the nutritious offerings and healthy choices of mocktails truly made my day. Golden Dragon was another very good dining experience. Special mention to Clinton and Sridhar, who always ensured that the best food varieties were served and that we had a memorable experience. Sea Lounge is simply breathtaking for its view and remains one of my personal favourites. The Maharaja High Tea was superb, with special mention to Sagnik Ghosh, Indranil, Naaz, Akshay, Kiran, and Mayank. I particularly loved the grilled fish at the breakfast buffet. The hospitality extended beyond the restaurants as well. Percy, a veteran of the hotel, always shares wonderful stories about the Taj and its history. Aishwarya at reception was kind, understanding, and helpful. Aditya at reception assisted me with the E-carriage tour of the city—which, despite being a Mumbaikar myself, turned out to be a fun and enjoyable joyride. Daily yoga sessions with Suyog and Madhusmita made my each morning begin on a slow, serene, and a peaceful note. One significant disappointment during this stay was at Shamiana. The service was extremely poor and, as a returning Taj member, I could clearly notice a decline compared with my visit last year. This was particularly disappointing because the service standards at several other outlets during the same stay were exceptional. The service was so pathetic that I didn't visit Shamiana after one bad experience in my whole week. I believe a property with the heritage and reputation of the Taj Mahal Palace deserves consistency across all its dining experiences. Despite this, my week-long stay was filled with wonderful moments and interactions with people who genuinely care about their guests. Though this was my second visit, I certainly wish to return again with my family. A comfortable, peaceful, and memorable stay, with many exceptional people making it truly special
