Concierge.com's insider take:
Editors' Note: Due to the terrorist incident in November 2008, not all rooms and facilities at the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower are currently open.
Since it opened over a century ago, the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower has been the haunt of India's beau monde. Built in 1903, it is an architectural marvel, bringing together Moorish, Oriental, and Florentine styles. Panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and the Gateway of India complete the picture. Inside, the hotel showcases contemporary Indian art alongside beautiful vaulted alabaster ceilings, onyx columns, graceful archways, hand-woven silk carpets, crystal chandeliers, and an eclectic collection of furniture. There are 565 rooms, including 46 opulent suites. The service, as you might expect, is impeccable. Facilities include the Harbour Bar, Mumbai's first drinking establishment, and the Insomnia nightclub, filled with Bombabes and their millionaire escorts.
From the readers of Condé Nast Traveler:
Due to damage caused by the recent attacks in Mumbai, the hotel remains only partially open.
