The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai
Mumbai, India
About the hotel
"A landmark hotel steeped in history, The Taj Mahal Palace boasts extravagant interiors, a vast art collection and some of the best dining in the city."
Don’t stay here if you’re looking for modern-day glitz and glam; the hotel is steeped in history. Opened in 1903 – 21 years before the landmark Gateway of India which it faces was built – it was deemed “the finest caravanserai in the east”. The building is a seven-tiered wedding cake of Gothic, Greco-Roman, Islamic and Rajasthan architecture topped by a glittering Florentine dome. Extravagant interiors are adorned with Italian marble floors, chandeliers and 4,000 works of art, most of them antique. In 2008, the hotel underwent a major renovation, and it looks much the same as before, as intended.

Don’t stay here if you’re looking for modern-day glitz and glam; the hotel is steeped in history. Opened in 1903 – 21 years before the landmark Gateway of India which it faces was built – it was deemed “the finest caravanserai in the east”. The building is a seven-tiered wedding cake of Gothic, Greco-Roman, Islamic and Rajasthan architecture topped by a glittering Florentine dome. Extravagant interiors are adorned with Italian marble floors, chandeliers and 4,000 works of art, most of them antique. In 2008, the hotel underwent a major renovation, and it looks much the same as before, as intended.
There are only two hotels in the luxury running on this – the southernmost tip of Mumbai – The Oberoi and this one, both of them considered amongst the world’s finest. Here’s why you pick this one: it’s akin to staying in a museum; you’ll feel you’ve gone back to the days of the Raj. The heritage, the art and the grandeur...the outdoor areas for dining and drinks, the beautiful pool, the celebrity factor, and, finally, the service: unique; time and place; bespoke. Stay here and it will be a visit you will never, ever forget.
When it comes to rooms, it’s courtyard or sea-facing. Expect noise whichever you chose (more sea-facing, for sure), and pack Formula One calibre earplugs. They say New York never sleeps – we say Mumbai never does. Room amenities aren’t the stuff of dreams, but it doesn’t matter at all. The stellar service (bordering on obsequious sometimes) will make sure you have everything (and more) than you need.
Dine here and you’ll be eating among the city’s elite who live (and party) downtown. The service, the food and the margaritas are the best, and most beloved, in the heart of the city. You’ll see it all and be seen, for sure. Peruse the shops in the hotel’s ground floor arcade on your way to dinner. Pick up a pair of chappals from local legend shoemakers Joy Shoes. Next door is Louis Vuitton, Dior and other European high-end brands. We love Mumbai: the juxtaposition, the bad, the good and the great of it all.
