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.”

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.

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.

Romantic escape in Bombay

We loved the majesty, charm and history of this hotel. The room was spacious, furnished and decorated with taste, with a beautiful view on the Gateway of India. The garden and the swimming pool were gorgeous too. The staff was caring and helpful and the breakfast, high tea and cocktail were delicious moments.

The staff was a little slow with our luggages and they didn't allow us to carry our speaker in the room for the quietness of the hotel. Yet the TV are equipped with soundbars and we could hear our neighbour watching the news. Nothing too bad but not very fair either.

Everything about the property the staff the amenities every request we had they made sure we got it. We even requested for ice for ice bath and we got 80 kg of ice within 10 mins I’ve stayed at multiple 5star hotels but no one can match Taj Mumbai’s service. They really know the meaning of above and beyond Special mention to Austin from front desk and Mandeep and Tejaj from Inroom dining. Kudos to the team If ever in Mumbai stay at The Taj

Have stayed at the taj palace and Towers previously. Everytime my experiences have been super positive. This time I would like to do a shout out to special people at the Shamiana restaurant, Raju, Nikita and Pujan, these people are special, always willing to go the extra mile . Nidhi at the tower, we will not forget the upgrade. That was out highlight of this trip. Thank you Not forgetting all of the other staff who showed their Indian hospitality always with a smile. And finally duty manager Mr Mayank Sood who came to wish us goodbye on checkout..thank you

I would say the rooms at the palace are due for an upgrade

The flagship Taj hotel, a historical and architectural marvel oozing style and elegance, with sublime service and comfor

Stunning architecture. Luxurious sea facing room. Outstanding service. Superb restaurants serving food to dire for. History—since 1903. A pioneer for many things—the first bar, for instance.

Nothing in particular. Perhaps Taj should promote the local Mumbai/Maharashtra cuisine in its breakfast menu (no vada pav/bhel/missel/pav bhaji)

Palace wing is just fab Everything was excellent ,service is out of this world. The staff are so nice and respectful at all times. Just making us want to come back

There was a musty smell in some areas probably due to the carpet account of heavy rains. Its a pricy hotel from the Mumbai perspective

Memorable The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai trip

Taj team demonstrated our best Indian culture of respect, honour and all team members remain were always down to earth. We really experienced " Atithi Devo Bhav" like feeling throughout our stay.

Special thanks to Shivani and her team for all best arrangement. 2) Birthday celebration : Taj Team arranged cake and balloons on my wife birthday followed by given greeting. It awesome experience. Special thanks to Jyoti and her team for all these arrangement. 3) Heritage walk : Taj hotel history and all detail Information was given during Heritage walk. Thanks to Mr. Persy for great explanation. 4) Breakfast : Breakfast was extremely nice. All arrangements and food quality was very nice. Special thanks to Atharva/ Cletin and their team for all best arrangement. Our overall experience was memorable, awesome and with best hospitality by Taj team members.

Wah Taj! Wah Taj! Wah Taj! We four friends stayed for one night, from 17th August to 18th August 2025, at the Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai. It had been our dream since childhood to experience a stay at this iconic hotel, and that dream was fulfilled on this memorable day. In fact, we feel its name should be “Taj Mandir Palace” instead of Taj Mahal Palace, as the experience was nothing short of divine. Though the stay was expensive, it was worth far more than the cost. The gestures, warmth, and politeness of all the staff, including the senior staff, were truly remarkable. What touched us most was their equal and respectful treatment towards every guest—whether a big shot or a common person, there was absolutely no difference in their behaviours. This sense of indiscriminate hospitality left a deep impact on us. We spent a wonderful night at the Taj. From dinner to breakfast the next morning, the affection and quality of service made us completely speechless. A heartfelt thank you to the Taj Mahal Palace and its entire staff for giving us such unforgettable memories.

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

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.

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.
