Taj Mahal Palace Hotel

The Taj Mahal Palace is to be one of our highlights of our Mumbai stay, little did we know Mumbai had so much more to offer!

The Taj is probably the most famous Hotel in all of India, a place of absolute luxury and renowned service. The price was of course a very princely sum but for 2 nights it was worth every penny.

We happened to be there on India day and so with the Hotel looking out on India Gate we had the best seat in the house for the Independence Day celebrations.

The Hotel was of course also very famous for being one of the main locations for the terrorist attacks on Mumbai (along with Leopold's) from Muslim extremists. The memorial to the victims is a forever tribute but otherwise the Hotel was completely renovated to remove all traces of the attack (unlike Leopold's which was one of the first places the terrorists struck).

Everywhere you look it is luxury and that swimming pool was as good as it looks!Read more
