One-Night Stay at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai – Luxury Experience

Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai, is a legendary five‑star heritage hotel overlooking the Arabian Sea beside the Gateway of India. Commissioned by Jamsetji Tata after facing racial exclusion and opened on 16 December 1903, it was India’s first luxury hotel – featuring pioneering comforts like electricity, lifts, air‑conditioning, and its own power plant(en.wikipedia.org).

The complex comprises the original Palace wing (285 rooms and suites) and the 1972 Tower wing, offering nine restaurants and bars, and a vast art collection featuring Indian modern masters(luxurytravelmag.com.au). It also endured the tragic 2008 terror attack, emerging restored and resilient by August 2010(vacayholics.com). Today, the Taj stands as a symbol of Indian pride architectural grandeur, and enduring hospitality.
