Taj Mahal Palace & Tower 

A Mumbai institution

Taj Mahal Palace is perhaps one of India’s most iconic hotels.

Dating back to 1903, its Rajput architecture, and famous domed roof, dominates the waterfront overlooking the Gateway to India. This historic building is filled with high ceilings and archways, crystal chandeliers and antique furniture with corridors of photos capturing the royalty and dignitaries who have been guests here. A heritage walk will bring the palace’s stories to life. Over the years, leisure facilities have been added including a swimming pool, fitness centre, J Wellness Centre and art gallery.
