    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.

    Probably the most pleasant experience of staying at a hotel as the staff were amazing, always happy, helpful and attentive to service. Luckily my room was also upgraded from the hotel tower building to the main hotel free of charge for my two day stay. The hotel building is amazing and doing the hotel tour (45 mins) with the wonderful and very knowledgeable Mr Newton D'Souza was a very worthwhile learning experience. Rooms are excellent in size and amenities as well as breakfast for it's selection of food buffet and dining experience. I hope to return for another stay at the Taj Mahal Mumbai sometime in the future. Thank you. Read less

    We flew to Mumbai just to celebrate my wife birthday in Taj Mahal Palace. I wanted to celebrate this very special occasion at an equivalent place which would be a memory of our lifetime. Upon visiting Taj Mahal Palace, we met Sagnik Ghosh (Restaurant Manager) & we left everything in his hand in planning our stay in Taj. We were so very overwhelmed by the planning that was arranged by him for the 2 days & the hospitality that was shown by Sagnik Ghosh – it is difficult to describe in words. In short, if I would try, still I consider as less, then it would be as follows: If Taj Mahal Palace is the “Crown” then I would say that Sagnik Ghosh is the most shining & the center “Gem” in that crown. We departed with lots of memories to cherish our whole life. We have visited many renowned hotels in India & across the world – but I would say that Taj Mahal Palace is very special. Overall staff, whomever we came across, viz. Abhinav (Executive Club Lounge), Percy (Heritage Walk), Khushi (Club Lounge Reception) and many more, were always happy to help. I saw that all staff were always smiling & they were happy to be part of Taj Mahal Palace legacy. I would also like to appreciate the Heritage walk that is arranged for the guest – we come to know a lot about Taj Mahal Palace & the events that Taj Mahal Palace has witnessed down the history. A BIG THANK YOU! Read less

    Arrival welcome experience was great in terms of ambience and refreshments served. Check in process bit tardy and staff attending looked overwhelmed. We were a group of 10.

    Arrival welcome experience was great in terms of ambience and refreshments served. Check in process bit tardy and staff attending looked overwhelmed. We were a group of 10. The effort to keep our entire group on one floor, (though rooms were far apart)despite high occupancy was commendable and noteworthy. Thanks to the DMs swift action to upgrade few rooms. Now we come to rooms and facilities, fully satisfied. We took rooms on HB basis, so our first meal plan was dinner buffet at Shamiana. Oh boy! How we wish now to erase this part from our overall experience. A beautiful outlet but dinner exp was below average. The choice of food, layout,ambience had 0 Taj-ness. Food looked like mass produced by some average caterer. Now on hindsight we regret opting Shamiana and should have chosen set menu option suggested in Golden Dragon. Restful sleep and beautiful morning followed by lovely breakfast by the Sea lounge. Perfect, outstanding service staff. Impeccable. Check out was alright, near seamless given the hotels high occupancy. So barring Shamianas dinner, all had Tajness effect. Every staff we passed through greeted us smilingly, a small gesture but impactful for guests. Thank you for giving us wonderful memories and we will definitely come back..
