Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“Foreigners and wealthy Indians choose the Taj over other fancy hotels in town because it’s a beautiful and regal landmark—worth visiting even if you don’t stay here—with views past the Gateway of India to the Arabian Sea.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Mumbai.

Forbes review:

“The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai has been a hallmark from the day it first opened its doors in 1903 as one of India’s first true luxury hotels. Ambitious and forward-thinking industrialist Jamsetji Tata founded the grand hotel in to put India back on the map, create a place for India’s elite to congregate and produce a host of employment opportunities for the people of the former Bombay.”

CNN review:

“Few hotels in the world embody old-world glamor quite like the Taj Mahal Palace. Located in south Mumbai, the 285-room palace is the epitome of grandeur. There’s the luxurious Arabian Sea-view rooms, gold fabrics, grand chandeliers, fine-dining restaurants, a harborside bar and sky-high ceilings.”

Lonely Planet review:

“The grande dame of Mumbai is one of the world’s most iconic hotels and has hosted a roster of presidents and royalty. Sweeping arches, staircases and domes, and a glorious garden and pool ensure an unforgettable stay.”

Telegraph review:

“Cosseting guests in old-fashioned grandeur, Mumbai’s most iconic hotel is much loved by its well-heeled and glossy locals. Generations have celebrated life’s milestones here, making this more than just the city’s best luxury hotel, but part of its beating heart.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Serving guests for over 100 years, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel is a “Heritage Grand” class, five-star hotel in the Colaba region of Mumbai, India. It is situated next to the Gateway of India. The Cathedral of the Holy Name, National Gallery of Modern Art, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum and Cooperage Ground are all great tourist attractions located nearby. Simply known as “The Taj” to some, the hotel first opened its doors to guests on 16 December 1903.

Opulent in the extreme, the hotel is sprawled over 2.6 acres of land and boasts an impressive list of amenities including 10 restaurants, the Jiva Spa, the Taj Salon and landscaped pool. Lavishly designed decor and architecture extend to the guestrooms. They offer great views of the sea, city and pool. Every room features a flat-screen TV, a well-stocked minibar, free WiFi and an en-suite bathroom. There is even 24-hour butler service!

Guest can continue to spoil themselves with tasty dishes prepared at the famous Wasabi by Morimoto or the Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant. The poolside Aquarius Lounge also offers amazing cuisine that caused a fireworks explosion on the tongue. Private dining can be arranged at Chef’s Studio. The Taj has a long and rich history and part of that history includes giving guests the best experience of their life.

Doing Great. This should continue

All that the hotel offered was above excellence. A heritage hotel, which any visitor will feel happy being there

All were excellent. A slight comment will be on the variety of south Indian dishes that seemed a bit less in the spread. Accompaniments like chutneys were missing. These are not complaints, but only one issue I could spot. Otherwise keep going

Always the pride of Indian!Definitely the highest level of hospitality.My 3rd time here and a must go to experince the antique, historic and glory from the past.

The hotel entrance didnt give justice to the interior hotel look and feel.Looking tired, small anf crowded.The main lobby is extremely beautiful but pack and busy all the time made it less exclusive for inhouse guests.

Fabulous

A Stay Beyond Compare – The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai My stay at The Taj Mahal Palace was a masterclass in refined hospitality. From seamless check-in to the gracious service throughout, every interaction reflected elegance and attention to detail. The sea-facing room offered unmatched views of the Gateway of India and was impeccably appointed for comfort and luxury. Dining at the Taj was exceptional — diverse cuisines, flawless presentation, and attentive staff made each meal memorable. The concierge and housekeeping teams deserve special praise for their professionalism and warmth. This iconic hotel doesn’t just offer accommodation — it offers an experience steeped in heritage, luxury, and timeless charm. Truly world-class in every sense.

Areas for Improvement: Bed Length: The bed provided in the room was relatively short for individuals taller than 6 feet. An option for an extended or king-size bed would enhance comfort for taller guests and better align with the hotel's premium standards. Wash Basin Noise: The wash basin emitted a noticeable and somewhat irritating sound during use, which affected the otherwise peaceful experience. This may warrant a maintenance check or acoustic treatment. Balcony Flooring: The marble flooring in the balcony became uncomfortably cold, especially during early mornings and late evenings. A carpeted surface or alternative material could provide better thermal comfort and usability.

A must stay hotel in Mumbai. A lot of heritage and history attached to this fabulous hotel.

The view from the room was breathtaking. An excellent room. Dinner at Golden Dragon restaurant was delicious. Breakfast arrangement was not desirable. We had to wait for more than 15 mins to get a table. Special mention to Mei at the reception. She was cordial, freindly and extremely helpful. Would also like to mention the names of Lovesh who made us fabulous cocktails at the club lounge and his colleagues Vikram and Yaseel with other staff made us welcome. Special mention also to the exceptionally knowledgable and experienced Mr Newton D'Souza who entertained us on the heritage tour.

Didn't expect to stand in a queue for breakfast in a world renowned hotel!

Thanks Taj for making my dad’s 85th birthday special

Considering the cost for 1 night stay, I was a bit skeptical at first whether “The Taj” will meet my expectations & will be worth it. But starting with a warm welcome, smooth check in & ensuring my dad’s birthday is made special, everything was worth it. 🥰 Saurabh ensured that my dad’s birthday midnight would be celebrated in a special way (arranging the candles, small cake, foot spa) and offcourse my dad’s red carpet moment.. All in all, worth the money I spent to make my dad feel special 😌

Unforgettable memories

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – A Stay Beyond Expectations! My experience at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai was truly magical and unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was unmatched—gracious, warm, and thoughtful in every way. To our surprise, we were upgraded to a luxurious suite to celebrate our anniversary, and what awaited us was beyond anything we imagined. The room was beautifully decorated with balloons, flowers, and an incredible anniversary cake. Every detail was done with so much care, and it truly made our celebration so special and personal. The suite itself was stunning—elegant interiors, spacious layout, and a breathtaking sea view. We felt pampered throughout our entire stay. The service, food, ambiance, and overall vibe of the hotel make it stand out as a symbol of timeless luxury. Without a doubt, this is the best hotel in Mumbai. I’m so grateful for the memories created here, and it will definitely be my first choice for every future visit. Thank you, Taj, for making our anniversary unforgettable. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an extraordinary stay.

Honestly, there was nothing I didn’t like. Everything was perfect—from the service to the room, the food, and the overall experience. The entire stay exceeded my expectations in every way.

An Outstanding Hotel!

Wonderful hospitality, impeccable service, excellent room, well-equipped gym, good food, therefore a most enjoyable stay!

From elevators to guest rooms, one has to descend every time a short (8 stairs) marble staircase with no markings at stair edges and no handrail for the first half, a safety issue imho that can be fixed easily

An unforgettable experience with luxurious accommodations and world-class service.

The architecture of the Taj Mahal Palace is simply stunning, with a perfect blend of luxury and heritage. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the service was top-notch. The room was very spacious, offering a breathtaking view of the sea. The dining experience was also fantastic, with delicious food options.

The check-in process was a bit slower than expected, and I had to wait for a little longer than usual. Other than that, everything was quite good.
