The hotel

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.

The Taj is and always will be the best hotel ever. Exceptional hospitality - each and every person makes sure you are comfortable and it feels more like you are being pampered by your very close relative/friend. They took care of every single little detail, my heart was completely filled. The food was amazing and they take care of you and treat you extremely well. I’m sure there is no other hotel which offers this level of hospitality. We had an opportunity to stay at the Pandit Ravi Shankar suite, the suite was breathtakingly beautiful, literally living in art & history. I felt overwhelmed when I saw the suite it was extremely beautiful! I’m so very proud that India has Taj, and the staff here are exceptional! I thank each and every one of you who made our stay & 5th year anniversary celebration one of the best experiences ever. Read less

I was very disappointed with my stay at Taj when we went in May. The service was rubbish. We were given a smoking room when we asked for non-smoking room. They changed the room for us but no extra bed was provided for our 2 year old son even though we had requested for one. The main restaurant service was very poor.
