Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai

One of the most iconic buildings in Mumbai, if not the whole of India this historic hotel could not be in a better location. Set in the heart of South Mumbai, just minutes away from prime cultural and shopping centres it overlooks that other famous landmark, The Gateway of India and the Arabian Sea. Built in 1903 it was the first hotel in India to have electricity and probably the only place where a British Viceroy could rub shoulders with a Maharajah. Since then it has become the world-renowned hotel that it is today, welcoming Heads of State, Maharajahs, Hollywood celebrities and rock stars alike

With 10 restaurants from which to choose, guests are treated to diverse cooking styles and the most imaginative culinary traditions from India, Europe, the Middle East and the Orient.

Golden Dragon was India’s first authentic Sichuan restaurant and has a menu that includes dim sum, Peking Duck and other favourites all complemented by a variety of exotic teas.

Taj Club rooms are situated on the top floors and offer access to the exclusive Taj Club lounge with all its added benefits. The suites here are legendary; each combines contemporary and classic styles, with richly hued interiors evoking the grandeur of a bygone age. Executive Suites are contemporary living spaces, which include bedroom and living room; Luxury Suites are delightfully themed and have the added benefit of a dining room with guests also having access to the Taj Club. Grand Luxury Suites have all of the amenities of the others but are even more luxurious and have stunning views of the Arabian Sea and Gateway of India. Even more luxurious are the two Signature Suites, the richly furnished and opulent Rajput Suite in all its Rajasthani splendour, or the Ravi Shankar Suite named after the celebrated sitar maestro. The epitome of luxury has to be the Presidential or Tata Suite, comprised of 15 graciously appointed rooms elegantly furnished with hand woven silks, furniture clad in silver, white marble floors and patterned hand knotted carpets.
