Taj Mahal Palace is a historic landmark hotel, set in a prime location overlooking the Gateway of India monument and the Arabian Sea. Built in the early 20th-century, its original building displays a fusion of Moorish, Oriental and Florentine architectural styles. The extravagant interiors are adorned with Italian marble floors, Belgian chandeliers and 4,000 antique works of art. Opulent in style and regal in service, it has been the hotel of choice for royalty, heads of state and celebrities.
Housed in two separate wings, the Taj Mahal Palace has 560 rooms and suites. The palace interiors are palatial in style with high-vaulted ceilings, grand arches, ornate décor and works of art and furnishings that wouldn’t be out of place in a museum.

All are elegantly decorated and equipped with the latest mod-cons.
