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.

I had booked a sea view room at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel on 14 & 15 Jan to celebrate my wife 's (Ujwala) 75th birthday. Wow! This was a once in a lifetime experience for both of us. Ujwala was in 7th heaven with the red carpet decorated with fresh flowers, the balloons and the cake in the room (as well as the cake in the newly opened restaurant during dinner). The associate manager Pooja also presented Ujwala with a personal gift. Every one should try to get this wonderful experience at least once in a lifetime. Read less

Outstanding Stay with Impeccable Service. I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Taj Mahal Palace. The service was top-notch, from the friendly and professional. But the front desk team was not helpful from the time we arrived. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities I specially want to mention gayatri at the Taj club Lounge - Gayatri was very attentive from the beginning of our stay. I especially enjoyed the Lounge facilities. She really helped us with all the access to the lounge and made our stay so pleasant and we were happy with the sweet gesture of her also the security people were helpful After our checkout we went to the lounge to meet her and inform her that our flight got delayed very sweetly she offered us hi tea . I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely choose it again for my future visits! Read less

We had a fantastic experience at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai. It is a heritage hotel with history of events, some of which occurred before India's independence. This hotel has hosted dignitaries (presidents and prime ministers, cabinet members, kings and queens, celebrities, musicians, sports teams to name a few). This is located right across from iconic The Gateway of India and within walking distance from attractions (General Post Office, Bombay University, High Court, Victoria Terminus, Church Gate Station, Marine Drive, Nariman point). The lounge services and amenities were great. Complementary heritage tour (tour guide: Percy) enhanced our appreciation of historic events held at this hotel. Service provided by all staff member was fantastic. Duty Manager (Dhruv) provided excellent services to make sure our stay was memorable and concierge manager (Ransom) helped arranged tour transportation services on a short notices for us. I highly recommend it. Read less
