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.

“Exceptional stay in historic, luxurious surroundings!”

Mar 23, 2026Hotel_1238

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.
