I love hanging my hat at hotels with a story to tell. Not only is there history in its walls, the Taj offers luxury and exceptional hospitality. While the surroundings and opulent, it’s the remarkable staff that make the place so memorable. Many have been working there for 20, 30, 40+ years and that kind of longevity speaks volumes. I wish to thank Azeem in the Sea Lounge who looked after me so well at breakfast he brought tears to my eyes! He is one of the finest servers I’ve ever experienced in my 45 years of world travels. I stayed 5 days and he made lovely recommendations each day to make my breakfast a little different from the day before. He also made a special hot drink of ginger, herbs and honey when my throat was sore. I also wish to thank Ansh and Prachi in Loya Restaurant for helping me select fabulous choices from the menu and teaching me about Indian cuisine—they, too, are top notch! The housekeeping staff is amazing, keeping my room clean and spotless, always around if I needed anything, always smiling. The warm smiles of the staff throughout the property made me feel very special. I was asked several times how my stay was going. When I mentioned that my view was not favorable, the duty manager switched my room immediately. I cannot recommend the Taj highly enough. It’s part of the fabric of the city and an absolute must visit.
