I stayed in the old wing. I was in fact upgraded. The room was immaculate, quiet and clean. The bed was comfortable. The service faultless. The hotel has a wealth of character. I will go back. I loved breakfast in the Sea Lounge. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous. I used the gym and swimming pool. The pool is... More

My sister and I stayed in March 2013 - my second time at this hotel, her first. Right from when we walked through the door we were treated superbly. We were upgraded to the heritage wing and treated like royalty throughout our 3 day stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was great (room service seafood pizza was a... More

This beautiful palace, which is a luxury hotel and probabaly, one of the best in the world, is worth a visit, even if one cannot afford to stay there. The royal feeling is very obvious and such a gem of architecture cannot be missed, whilst in Mumbai.

I went with my girlfriend on a 12 day south India trip for my birthday. Mumbai and the Taj was our first stop. I would say it was about 2:00 in the morning when we arrived from our international flight (by prepaid Taxi). What a contradiction it is when you enter the "high security" gates of the Taj after a...

Lot has been said about the architecture, location, service, heritage about this hotel. So not gonna bore you further but share my experience in their not-so-oft written about Sea Lounge restaurant & even more exclusive signature Spa. Nothing is quite as regal and nostalgic as a lazy mid-afternoon high tea at the Sea Lounge http://goo.gl/dcrkt. This place is steeped in... More

Spent one night here on a business trip. I stayed in the main old part of the hotel. The whole experience was superb. We had a buffet lunch with the business group I was in out with, on a large balcony area and the food was really nice. The pool, bar, reception and shared areas of the hotel were a... More

We didn't stay at the hotel but we did eat at the sea lounge and had drinks at the harbor bar. The food at the sea lounge was excellent. We had the buffet which was amazing! Tons of different desserts! The harbor bar was a bit over priced for drinks but the environment was worth the extra rupees. Both restaurants... More

We had a two night stay at the Taj Palace Hotel and we were upgraded to the Palace itself. It is a great shame that whoever trains the staff at this hotel do not train the staff at every top hotel. Every employee that we encountered could not do enough for you without being obsequious in any way. Their attention... More

Stayed in Taj Mahal on business (I work for a TATA Group company) and got upgraded from the Tower to the Palace. Have to agree with other reviews: This is easily the best hotel I have stayed in ever, and I have travelled quiet a lot on business over the years. The reception, lobby, pool area, many restaurants and Palace... More

First about the property. Staying in this hotel and that also the heritage wing is like living through history. My experience of Taj experience started right from the airport pick up. The transfer service was perfect and my check in process was smooth which was done in few minutes. My suggestion is when a guest is checking for the first... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The history of Mumbai and The Taj Mahal Palace are dramatically intertwined. The hotel is Mumbai’s first harbour landmark (built 21 years before the Gateway of India) and the site of the first licensed bar in the city. For more than a century, the Taj has played an intrinsic part in the life of the city, hosting Maharajas, dignitaries and eminent personalities from across the globe. Today it is a Leading Hotel of the World and favourite destination for discerning business travellers. A treasure-trove of invaluable memorabilia, there is a story to tell behind every pillar, a landmark deal in every boardroom, and a storied celebration under every awning. Come be a part of the legend.Overlooking the Gateway of India with a panoramic view of the bay, every one of the 560 rooms including 44 suites are the perfect blend of rich history and modern convenience. ... more   less
