If in Mumbai - I will stay here. If you're a tourist just visiting once or in town for businesss this is the hotel to be (or if to far off the Taj Lands End). Excellent service, fast, wonderful rooms. This time I had issues with a new Tax, GST, the hotel tried to add on my already payed Reservation and kinda smallered the overall experience. Why stay here? When there's an issue it will be solved within 5-10min. There was a ball one night, and my room was vibration from the music they played. One call and in 10 min the receptionist brought me a key for a second, calm room for that one night. I love the butler service ( no idea if that's in all the hotel or only in the heritage wing). If you book here, pay a bit more and stay at the heritage wing - it's worth it.

The Taj Mahal is a five star hotel in Mumbai. There are two buildings in front of the Gateway of India near Colaba. A Taj Mahal Palace and a hotel building next to it. Although the two buildings look different, they are both owned by Tata and are known as the Taj Mahal Hotel. The construction plans of these two buildings have been planned by different architects in different periods of time.
Jacqueline Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, the King and Queen of Norway, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, Roger Moore, John Collis, Angelina Jolie, Badpit, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama are among the world celebrities who have visited the Taj Palace.
History
One of the reasons why the Tatas built the Taj Hotel was that in 1865, the gatekeeper of the famous Watson Hotel in Mumbai forbade Jamshedji Tata to enter. Because that hotel was only for the English. Unable to bear the humiliation, the Tatas decided to build a hotel of international standard for Indians. The Taj Hotel was built on December 16, 1903. Some critics, however, disagree. He is of the opinion that the Tatas built the hotel at his request as the Times of India editor wanted to build a hotel similar to Mumbai.
During World War I, the hotel was converted into a 600-bed hospital. The tall building next to the Taj Palace today was known as the 'Green Hotel' in the port of Apollo. The hotel was notorious for its cheap prices and wild gang feasts. The hotel was bought by the Tatas in 1973 and replaced by the second Taj Jung building of the present Taj Hotel.
The back of the hotel is near the port of Apollo. The door of the hotel is on the east. Many people have misunderstood that the port is at the back of the hotel as the builder did not notice the plan of the building designed by the architect. But this is not true. The hotel has been constructed in such a way that it is convenient for the visitors to transport their luggage by boat.
Construction
The Taj Mahal Hotel is built in Indo-Sarsenic style and was originally designed by Indian architects Sitaram Khanderao Vaidya and DN Mirza and completed by English engineer WA Chambers. For the first time in India, a sliding ladder was installed for this hotel. The materials used in the hotel - fans, stairs, bathrooms, etc. were first ordered from various countries like USA, Germany, Turkey. Even Butler was brought from England. Its dome is made of steel used for the Eiffel Tower, which was imported from Tata at the time.
Dining room
The hotel has some of the best restaurants in the area, as follows:
Aquarius Continental and Italian cuisines
The Golden Dragon Golden Bench Zodiac grill Masala Krapat Le Petiseri Wasabi by Morimoto Awning Chef Studio Sock Sea Lodge Stabard Bar Harbor Bar
Terrorist attack on 26-11-2008
The terrorist attack on the Taj Hotel on November 26, 2008 in Mumbai. The attack caused economic damage to the Taj. Some civilians were being held hostage by terrorists at the time of the attack, and at least 167 people were killed. It also included some foreign nationals. A terrorist was killed in a self-defense firing by Indian commandos on the last day of a three-day stampede.
The section in the Taj Mahal Hotel which suffered the least damage It was re-launched on December 21, 2008. But it took many months for the most famous historical heritage section to be commissioned.
The renovated Taj Mahal Hotel reopened to the public on Independence Day on August 15, 2010. On November 6, 2010, US President Barack Obama became the first foreigner to visit a hotel since the attack. In his speech from the Taj's terrace at the time, he said that the Taj was a symbol of the strength of the Indians and their ability to face the situation fearlessly.
Lovely hotel. Inside there is a huge lounge. There are many photo spots also. An iconic building in Mumbai, Colaba. A landmark place. Arabian sea and Gateway of India are right in front of the hotel. That make the place a tourist spot and and must visit place in Mumbai.
