Taj Mahal Palace is a historic 5-star luxury hotel located next to the Gateway of India in the Colaba district of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Built in the Indo-Saracenic style, it opened as the Taj Mahal Hotel on December 6, 1903, and is often known historically simply as "The Taj."
The hotel is named after the Taj Mahal in the city of Agra, approximately 1,050 kilometers (650 miles) from Mumbai. It has been considered one of the finest hotels in the East since the days of British rule.
The hotel was founded by Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the founder of the Tata Group, a large Indian company. He also runs his Indian Hotels Company Limited, headquartered in Mumbai, India, of which Taj Hotels is a subsidiary.
Taj Hotels' first hotel, Taj Mahal Palace, has 560 rooms and its 44 suites and is considered the group's flagship property. It employs 1,600 staff. The hotel consists of two distinct buildings, the Taj Mahal Palace and the Tower, which are both historically and architecturally distinct (Taj Mahal Palace was built in 1903, and the Tower opened in 1973).
The hotel has received many notable guests, from presidents to captains of industry and movie stars.
On November 26, 2008, the hotel was targeted in the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, which caused property damage, including the destruction of the hotel's roof within hours. The parts of the hotel that sustained less damage were reopened on December 21, 2008. On August 15, 2010, India's Independence Day, the Taj Mahal Palace reopened after restoration. The cost of renovating the hotel is estimated at 1.75 billion rupees. The Palace building has been restored and new hotel services have been provided.
The attack on the hotel was depicted in the 2018 film Hotel Mumbai.

My partner and I stayed at the Bell Tower room during my first staycation in Mumbai and on our 2nd staycation, we got upgraded to another suite facing the gate of Mumbai. Love the hospitality there.

卒業旅行でインド行きました。ここに最終日一番やすい部屋に宿泊予定だったけどダブルブッキングで。お詫びとしてこのホテルの一番すごい部屋見せてもらい他の五つ星のスイートに泊めてもらいました。こちらではお茶、ご飯と伝統舞踊を観ました。30年前なので曖昧ですが、見学した部屋は螺鈿細工の家具や宝石がついた孔雀のブランコ、噴水がお部屋にあったりすごかったです。白い大理石のロビーで美味しい紅茶、ラッシー飲んだの覚えています。また舞踊が凄くて皆んな感動して泣いてた。ご飯も超美味しくて世界一のインド料理だといまだに思います。 思い出させていただきありがとうございます。お部屋がゆったりしていたり、ビュッフェはお食事バリエーション沢山あって素晴らしいですね、みんなおばさんになったけどあの時の友達誘って行きたいです。

Thank you sir for another quality establishment. Great to see that you will not go broke staying and eating at this hotel. Only once have I stayed in a hotel with a two-story room (Victoria, B.C.) and it was lovely. Giant chocolate cookies with turn-down service, full kitchen and a two level main floor. The Taj Mahal Palace was tastefully decorated and your room was more like a nice apartment than a hotel. Again, my thanks for your detailed video tour, English subtitles, and food/menu close ups.

It is Gateway of India not India Gate. India Gate is a war memorial in Delhi. People often get confused about the two.

I wish I could stay there. It must be nice to be wealthy to do that trip.

Thank you for taking me on tour to this beautiful hotel that embodies rich, exotic and magical culture of India. I am glad it is a well versed English speaking country so that hotel staff are fluent in English too.
